Ways to study in university
Preface by Rector Fokkema Within the range of a
technical university the object of design in
terms of (urban) architecture and technique is
the design subject that is amongst all others
most sensitive to context. The programme of
requirements is not only derived from an
economical and technical context, but also from
contexts hailing from political, cultural,
ecological en spatial considerations on many
levels of scale.
17
Ways to Study in Faculty

• Limits of scientific generalisation accepted by
  Fokkema prompt to own ways to study.
• Context sensibility of the urban and
  architectural object core of the problem,
• put into operation by making explicit
  (retrievable) per project (proposal)
• frame and grain (levels of scale),
• context (managerial, cultural, economical,
  technical, ecological and spatial),
• (desired) impacts in context.

18
Object and context
19
Explicit future context

• protects your design against judgements with
  other suppositions about the future
• raises the debate about the robustness of your
  design in different future contexts
• raises a field of problems instead of an
  isolated problem statement by subtracting the
  desirable futures from the probable ones

20
Subtracting futures

• Field of problems Probable - Desirable
• Field of Aims Desirable - Probable

21
How to describe 1 OBJECT OF MY STUDY AND ITS
CONTEXT

• 1.1. Object of my study frame and grain
• 1.2. Probable future context field of problems
• 1.3. Desired impacts of my study field of aims
• 1.4. My designerly references field of means
• 1.5. My portfolio and perspective field of
  abilities

22
Probable futures
There are more and less probable futures
23
Probability
s 68, 2s 95, 3s 99.7 chance
24
Possible futures
Anything probable is per definition possible but
not everything possible is also probable. The
probable future could be predicted. The
improbable possibilities cannot be predicted. You
only can explore them by design.
25
Possibility
Not every condition is a cause, but every cause
is a condition for something to happen

Assignment B

• Publish
• at least two reference images fascinating you
  professionally, mentioning their source
• naming and describing what is readable from these
  pictures in (syntactic) key words
• comparing them scientifically, naming the ways to
  study available for such a comparison.

37
Ways to study images

• conceptual recording of each image (naming)
• investigation of the spatial/structural urban
  context over different periods (naming)
• description of its characteristic (describing)
• historical plan analysis (design research)
• modelling growth to predict impacts
• critical interpretation of the images
  (evaluating)
• formulating intentions for design (programming)
• design experiments (design study)
• evaluating ex ante

Assignment C

• Publish
• types useful for design your comparison could
  produce
• design concepts you could derive from them
• models you could make out of the published
  images
• programmes, make out of the published images.

40
There are types of models,why not models of
types?

• Not any transferable idea is a model.
• Leupen (Ch. 13) Types should be transformed into
  models by design.
• A type can be transfered in words or a diagram,
  but not realised without design.
• Argan (1965) There are levels of types.

41
Concept(ion) and type

• A concept(ion)
• has not yet form
• is a theme transferabe to others
• it organises design choices
• it is transferable in words, schemes and
  reference images
• it pervades a design into the details.

42
Examples of concepts
Le Corbusier, sketch of the concept of his Unité
MVRDV, scheme of the concept for admission lodges
on the Hoge Veluwe. Transform the same type in
brick, steel and wood.
