ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Expression of Truth and Beauty
The relationship between form and function in architectural design is explored in this design project. It promotes the arbitrary aesthetic of "functional" beauty and the consciousness of truth, regardless of the designer's perspective. The technique and process of idea generation through conceptual combinations is examined as well in this study.
