XIV Environmental Imagination
TUTOR: PROFESSOR WAYNE FORSTER
This Unit was originally founded on the creative potential of architectural science combining with more sensory (phenomenological), and cultural characteristics of place. This was once the default setting in the Welsh School of Architecture, as well as for a number of great architects – Aalto, Corbusier et al – but recently the reversion to the two distinct and separated traditions of the applied sciences verses the humanities. The overall quest of this Unit is to re-kindle and build upon these traditions. Probing architectural design through questions of history, culture and technology. The Unit results to date demonstrate that this integrated creative response may result in great architecture that is attuned to both time and place.
