  1. ARCHITECTURAL SYNTHESIS …At the heart of architectural invention is the act of designing, the activity par excellence of the architect. In this act, the architect addresses the future, seeking the visual idea that will accommodate and express the function of his building... William Loerke

  2. ARCHITECTURAL SYNTHESIS 1. Form, Function, and Materialization 2. Ideas

  3. 1. Form , Function, and Materialization 1.1. What we have learned about form, function, and materialization. 1.1.1. Form:Seeking geometrical order and expression of formal qualities 1.1.2. Function: Seeking adequate performance and expression of spaces 1.1.3. Materialization: Seeking adequate performance and expression of material elements 1.2. Design is a balancing act: wishing versus needing

  8. 1. Form, Function, and Materialization1.1. What we have learned about form, function, and materialization.1.1.3. MATERIALIZATION: SEEKING ADEQUATE PERFORMANCE AND EXPRESSION OF MATERIAL ELEMENTS enclosure The materialization of the is the creation of the physical shell around the building spaces. This materialization is concerned with the relationships between: the enclosing planes, the openings, and the elements of the structure
