Seminar of Section

While most commonly deployed as a retroactive tool to describe constructional requirements or (in the context of the contemporary design studio) an automatic side effect of the digital model, this seminar re-conceives section as an instrumental and projective device. The goal is to provide students with techniques through which they can develop their own approaches to section as a vital analytical and design tool. The seminar also investigates the section to raise broader questions regarding the representational techniques that architects deploy and the complex interrelationship between delineation, ideation, and materialization.
