Hi guys,
As promised last class, here's a link to Christopher Alexander's "A Pattern Language", available free on United Diversity's online library. Think of it as a cheat sheet for the kinds of issues that pop up in architecture, and how they're dealt with across a range of cultures.
Also, here are some TEDtalks by architects mentioned during class, where they talk through their design process in some detail. Things to look out for are their concepts (purpose + some rule that changes the building's design), and how those concepts were used to address issues encountered in the project.
Joshua Prince-Ramus: Designing the Seattle Central Library
Joshua Prince-Ramus: Building a theater that remakes itself
TEDxEastSalon - Bjarke Ingels - Hedonistic Sustainability
Cheers,
Steve
