How can architecture, of any scale, reflect temporal patterning? Students from a seminar led by David Burns at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Architecture present an investigation of entropy and the ephemeral.
From the "Patterning" syllabus:
"The word Pattern is loaded. It holds distinct connotations in scientific, mathematical, and design disciplines. It could be defined as simply the “form and style in an artistic work or body of artistic works” and “a consistent, characteristic form, style, or method.” Or, it could be defined in a much broader sense as the technique that enables us to understand form.
I am intrigued by the methods at which we, as architects and designers, create, edit and recognize pattern. Regardless of its form or the manner in which it was created, regardless of its medium, or its function, the intent of this exploration is to bring focus on our ability (or inability) to discern and exploit pattern.
I am interested in the unexpected results of misaligned patterns, the illusory, and the hallucinative. I intrigued by designed entropy. I am intrigued by the depth of the two dimensional through perspective, pattern, and perception."
