Rational rush !

Thesis Project  • Architectural Design Method

USC Architecture • Instructor: Eric Haas • Spring 2020

The focus of this thesis lies between experience and rush. 

Throughout architectural history, we locate in the unique but also miserable period of time. We believe modernism is one of the most reasonable architectural theories because of its development and efficiency . On the other hand, there are other architects who believe in designing with memory and feelings.

This thesis proposes a third design methodology by breaking down the experience (conventional design) and memory (unconventional design). However, it does not necessarily provide a direction or answer to current architectural problems, instead it exaggerates the similarities and differences between experience and memory. The third design methodology will hopefully provide better understanding of what architecture could become in the future.
