Extraordinary Methods in Architecture | Super Boolean!

By strongly obeying the protocol and logic of the discipline, it is necessary for architects to investigate new design techniques. To accomplish this, a series of research methodologies related to contemporary technology will be investigated to define boolean operations including intersection, difference, and union. During the first phase of the research both physical and digital fabrication techniques will be developed through computational design, algorithmic modeling, and scripting. Drawing procedures borrowed from stone stereotomy and descriptive geometry will be utilized toward the production of two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional objects paying attention to properties of surfaces, including surface normal, intersecting curves, and other boolean operation resultants.
