Our goal, again

As you can see, Kuma is using his design and built process to define his idea about negative architecture, and this is the core point we want to learn and use as a sample for this studio. Eventually, each student will using their own project to define their own “Negative”, not necessary the same as Kuma’s (glass and merge into the ground or landscape), but definitely the way he set up his logic, his design process, how he relate his interest in philosophy to his building, are the things we want to refer to for this project. Above all, this studio is not about design a building, but about how to define an idea or a notion, or how to develop a system of theory.
