SYNERGIES - 2020
This project was developed for a comprehensive design studio focusing on integrated design and future adaptability. Our project manifesto details the ideas that formed our project and influenced our design thinking.
Integrated design is best understood as a way to tap into the characteristic functions of a combination of strategies.
The design must use each material optimally, using its natural attributes to serve as many needs as possible.
The design must be adapted to the site, using daylight, weather, wind, urban setting, and exterior spaces, not just preventatively, not just for aesthetics, but equally as tools to augment the functionality and experience of the design.
The design must find synergies between structure and partition, interior and exterior, enduring and ephemeral, between the traditional and the unexpected.
