That’s the title of my graduation project. The journey started in September 2007, and is ending 28 January, 14:00 in Room P in the Architecture Faculty, TU Delft. Here’s the invitation to the presentation and party
The full Title: Reasoning in Architecture; About the Diagrammatic Nature of Thinking with Objects Real and Imagined.
I don’t have a proper abstract finished yet (still in my last two weeks of graduation deadline stress), but it goes something like this:
How the activity of architectural design can be explained as a form of reasoning. We’ll go from Aristotle to Artificial Intelligence, from ‘reflection-in-action’ to ‘diagrammatic reasoning’, from philosophy to brain science to architecture theory and back again.
UPDATE: I’m continuing to develop my ideas on the Action! blog over at Archis. Posts of particular interest in relation to my graduation projects: Reasoning with Waves and Diagrams, Architecture Left to Its Own Devices
