Construct

International Proceedings

Author(s): William Carpenter

The construction process employs design, theory and building into a seamless relationship. Construction is a creative act. Technology is a tool used to reinforce design ideas- not weaken them. Our studio offers challenging social issues expressed through the reality of construction. There is a long legacy of learning through building- from the cathedral guilds to Taliesin, Arcosanti and the Jersey Devil. Learning through building offers a cyclical way to view technology and design simultaneously. This leads to a practical approach where theory is vital for it informs the entire process.
