LECTURE 1:  ARCHITECTURE AND EVENT
January.25
There is no architecture without event.    The role of the architect as provocateur:  relationship of indifference, reciprocity, conflict.  Paradox of architecture:  product of the mind vs. product of experience: limits, transgression, conflict. The architect does not create architecture so much as sets the conditions from which it springs.

LECTURE 2:  JUXTAPOSITIONS/SUPERIMPOSITIONS
February.22
Architecture is provocative when two architectural concepts are juxtaposed or superimposed: programmatically, formally, or temporaneously.

LECTURE 3:  VECTORS AND ENVELOPES
March.14
For buildings with fewer constraints against which to play, the architectural strategy must rely on different means.  Activity springs from movement; movement through spaces creates vectors in space.  Sequencing is critical to engaging space with its users as it generates a relationship between time, space, and movement.   Sequences of movement constitute vectors.  The rest of the building (roof, walls, partitions) constitute the envelope.  Vectors activate; envelopes define. 

LECTURE 4:  CONCEPT/CONTEXT/CONTENT
April.04
Concepts give meaning and coherence to a building.  Concepts organize and define how architecture functions; context is the geographical, historical, cultural, or political conditions of a project. The synthesis of context and concept are what defines the content of a project.  Context and content may relate as follows through indifference, reciprocity, or conflict.
