ARCHITECTURAL SYNTHESIS
…At the heart of architectural invention is the act of designing,
the activity par excellence of the architect.
In this act, the architect addresses the future, seeking the visual idea
that will accommodate and express the function of his building...

1. Form , Function, and Materialization
1.1. What we have learned about form, function, and materialization.
1.1.1. Form:Seeking geometrical order and expression of formal qualities
1.1.2. Function: Seeking adequate performance and expression of spaces
1.1.3. Materialization: Seeking adequate performance and expression of
material elements
1.2. Design is a balancing act: wishing versus needing

The materialization of the is the
creation of the physical shell around the building spaces.
This materialization is concerned with the relationships between:
