The Master's in Tectonics foundation studio emphasizes systemic thinking, focusing on adaptable rules and parameters. It fosters a methodology of iterative problem-solving through thinking, doing, and refining. The exploration of scale, geometry, and materials is integrated with an understanding of computational design and digital fabrication in contemporary practice. Precision in design and fabrication is highlighted, while room for error is embraced to encourage innovation. A holistic approach ensures comprehension of structures from intricate details like screw threads to massive 200m high-rise buildings, providing deep insights into the complexities of tectonic design.
