Tools of the Architect

The chair of Methods of Analysis and Imagination offers an elective seminar for the study of the different tools of the architectural discipline, and their experimental use for the analysis and imagination of built environments. In this seminar you will examine and reflect upon the nature, potential, and shortcomings of the tools of the architect.

To achieve this end, the visual, material and textual tools of the architect are examined and reinterpreted for imaginative and unforeseen representations of space to emerge. The course thus challenges the tools of architecture, looking for the alternative and unconventional possibilities they can create.

Your analyses and your development of possible futures for the selected built environment are assessed per thematic module, and graded using the aspects and criteria determined in the EMMA feedback and assessment tool, adapted for this seminar. Your final evaluation is graded individually, on the basis of the abovementioned criteria.
