UNIT 7 - PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT & MODEL

Over the past 3 years you have spent a lot of time learning about Architecture and Engineering and designing projects for specific clients, locations, purposes or functions. Over that time, you have broadened your understanding and ideas about what Architecture is and it's role in society.                                                                We have discussed design concepts, relationships between the built and natural environment and the impact of design in shaping and reflecting the consciousness of a society and its various characteristics. Similar to a concept, an abstract idea of what the essence of Architecture is, can be a defining principle in your approach to your future designs.                                                      In addition, developing a philosophy around what you believe Architecture is or should be, will guide you in your life path and raise your level of consciousness and awareness of built environments and your own personal living space.
