Midterm Review. Peter Trummer/Hernan Diaz Alonso

Studio Start

Types vs Species

Master Design Course | Hernan Diaz Alonso in Spring 2013 at the Institute of Urban Design Innsbruck headed by Prof. Peter Trummer (ioud)

This studio will use the program of a house as a tool to study the shift towards a paradigm of Species as opposed to the ubiquitous platform of Types. If Types are traditionally viewed as categories of standardization, and symbolic expressions of form, then Species are malleable entities that are in constant metamorphosis; adaptation and mutation are the main characteristics from Species.
