Design Theory

The article that I read to develop my design theory was A.N. Furnam's The Freedom of Aesthetics (2018). 

Through this article, Furman speaks about how a growing stylistic consensus in architecture restricts the full expression of human complexities, and he encourages architects in the modern age to overcome this social restriction and strive for greater artistic freedom. 

Furman, Adam Nathaniel. "The Freedom of Aesthetics." Architectural Design, 88 (April 2018): 68-75. https://doi.org/10.1002/ad.2303



The keywords I have chosen from this article are: 
freedom
human complexities
raw

I also gained interest in tectonic architecture, which is the art of construction in relation to both the use and artistic design. Features include the design of non-monolithic structures and the incorporation of different materials and techniques. 

From this, I have developed the following design theory which relates to movement:

"Tectonic architecture is a freedom of raw brilliance as it allows for the embrace of disorderly complexities pertaining to the human experience and expresses this in strengthened material support."

End.
