Frugality First, Complexity when Needed
Frugality first, complexity when needed. Acknowledgement of the importance of orientation and microclimate in the generation of complexity. |
Investigative Strategy |
Use of a Matrix to generate the design hypothesis. Importance is initially given to quantitative results. Initial design: Sun, Wind and Light, LUMcalcul (Demers), PET (Potvin).
|
Evaluation Process |
Initial hypothesis need to be validated throughout the semester with further quantitative and qualitative investigations. |
