DesignStudio3: Exploration of Parti

Architectural parti,

'the organization of and relationship between elements and information in space, is vital to the understanding of that space by the participant. Partis may be linear, radial, clustered, or fall into many other categories of geometric arrangement.'

Architects on the Architectural Design Parti:

"The most important matter in designing a building is to establish a design philosophy. Each building needs and should have its own appropriate principle that directs the design... Little by little the philosophy of the building starts to take shape in my mind and suddenly I have the feeling that it is ready..." (Legorreta in AD 110-Aspects of Minimal Architecture, 1994, p.16)

"Without an idea, Architecture would be pointless, only empty form... An idea is capable of : serving (function), responding to a place (context), resolving itself geometrically (composition), materializing itself physically (construction)... Architecture is always a built idea. The history of Architecture is the HIstory of built ideas. Forms change, they crumble, but the ideas remain, they are eternal." (Alberto Campo Baeza, p.22 in AD 110-Aspects of Minimal Architecture, 1994)

''...making architecture is about making choices, which once made, exclude other choices. The choices one makes establishes a kind of testament..." (Pawon Williams Architectures, p.42 in AD 110-Aspects of Mininal Architecture, 1994)
