Architectural Research: Incorporating Myth and Science
Despite an apparently common assumption that science and myth are totally incompatible approaches to architecture, especially as related to architectural design, I argue that science and myth are both explanations of phenomena, each different, but both valid. Positing the desirability of a research and design process that would take advantage of both approaches, I address the problems of existing conceptual categories and the possible productive relationship between myth and science for architecture. Anthropology is then proposed as a paradigm for an architectural research that could address both science and myth, and this is illustrated with examples of research and design studio instruction.
