A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This article suggests three key areas to extend the potential of alternative architecture: broadening the ways in which architecture is conceptualized; increasing design versatility by enhancing the awareness of diverse design methods; and expanding the seemingly impossible, conceptually and materially, through representation techniques. The roles of formal and programmatic typologies, extended material possibilities, and the power of learning from other disciplines lie nearby. These considerations are targeted at optimizing both architecture's cultural agency and our spatial imaginations.
