——
A 2-day course exploring geometric principles of architectural composition with special reference to some of Keith & Jon’s architectural projects.
Exploring Keith’s articulation of the three-fold nature of Archi – tect – ure as drawing on archetypal realities.
This includes relating sensitively to the site and its physical and cultural context; and how to design and use crafting with the best building wisdom in consideration of practical and technical requirements.
We will draw a series of examples of plan, section and elevation to see how a building can be both expanded and divided using geometry.
Workshop lead by Jon Allen, architectural collaborator and partner of Keith Critchlow’s for over 22 years.
