Direct sequential system assemblage

Abstract

Decisions made during the building process have the opportunity to both inform the next set of decisions and provide unexpected and possibly positive features in the final project. Thus, working beyond the minimum definition at each size will provide a more rich environment for the next ... This thesis proposes to investigate those decisions both analytically and synthetically. In volume one, construction phases are established and a set of physical system options is assigned to each. The next task of the thesis is to assemble these systems in multiple, thus discovering both the intrinsic behaviors of the system as well as its means of exchange with other systems. These parallel systems investigations will then provide the background for the final task of this thesis: volume two, a practical application of the methodology in an architectural project.
