Double Processing of the Design [chapter 6]

Abstract

This paper focuses on the design studio, which is central to architectural curriculum. The argument is developed through the knowledge of architectural design experiment and pedagogy of Architectural Design Studio 5. In Studio 5, we focus on making de-sign process visible, as a way of emphasizing the design as a research environment. Different strategies are developed and implemented to make design process appar-ent. In this paper, one of these strategies, called as the ‘thing’ will be illustrated with the process and products of Studio 5. The ‘thing’ is proposed as a way to map the de-sign fragments. Within and from the ‘thing’ the design fragments originate, develop and take form. The purpose of the ‘thing’ is to make the design ideas visible and to ensure the linkage of the discourse and architectural object.
