RESEARCH THESIS FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF MASTERS DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURE

Flexibility & adaptability in housing, 2021

The objectif of this research is to explore the various means through which the making the flexible and adaptable architecture can contribute to accommodating the various changes that could be made by users. Humans are, by nature, evolving and flexible in the face of changes occurring in their environment. Therefore, a closer look at the different uses that can be attributed to domestic spaces is requested. The aim of this study is to examine a more sustainable approach to housing design and production.

RIBA Part II MA Architecture Student Brief

Decorated Silence: Ornament After Postmodernism

The space of the architectural imagination resides within the discourses of line. This space defines the boundaries of a practice of conceptualising the laws of the place, whereby through an array of ordinances, the architectural line constitutes “the objects which it pretends only to describe realistically and to analyse objectively”. This definition, which speaks only of the discipline of architecture, as opposed to any other related discipline, reads architecture as an ensemble of mnemonically coded lines, situated upon and within the space of the picture plane, and no more. Therefore, although a thorough understanding of the material, technological, environmental, ethical and heritage aspects related to each proposal is vital, we place our principle mode of enquiry upon and within the discrete lines that make architecture in the first instance, possible. Believing therefore, that a passionate engagement with the language of linear representation is the first step each of us must take if we are to move from employing the art of architectural representation as a mere tool, to meet a particular historically contingent need, to exploring Architecture, as a discrete unique graphic language, in and of itself.
