About The Project
The crux of this architecture theory course is to immerse the students in an array of research and literature to enable the student to observe and identify other great designers’ motivations, abilities and internal governing design criteria. Through thorough understanding of others’ design methodology, the students can then embark upon the creation of their own personal design criteria, yielding improved critical thought processes.
