Boundary studies (Design exercises developed to open critical and creativeperception of occupied and populated spatiality)

The design exercises presented here were developed to open critical and cre ative perception of occupied and populated spatiality. The studio worked wi th two tactics: a focal theme that asked students to consider boundary cond itions in temporal, situational, and social terms; and the use of full-scal e installations as speculative devices. As experiments to raise questions a bout what constitutes form, site, and program, the exercises also aimed at initiating inquiry into architecture's effects, limits, and accountability.
