TECHNION BRIDGE
INSTRUMENTAL ARCHITECTURE
When coming to realize ideas in a project, we find a crucial role for choosing the right set of architectural instruments in use, a choice that effects the quality and the success of a project. The architectural instruments themselves can evoke and assimilate ideas into a project. In a way, the architectural tool becomes part of the project's idea.
We emphasize the use of architectural tools that make design process more effective and flexible, tools that help to connect between shapes and ideas, concrete with abstract, connecting the building with its uses, environment, society, time, technology etc…, as well as choosing tools that enable giving a clear and unique identity to each project.
Among those tools may find – series of typologies, transformations, diagrams, isometries, folds, disassembly and assembly, figure and background, parametric tools and more…
