Form-making in Art and Architecture: The Role of Functionalism and the Bauhaus [Part 1]
The first part of this series explains the mastery of designing with “the plan and section” is now a missing skill in current architecture education where schools of architecture neglect this very important skill by allowing students to design with 3D modeling first and emphasizing too much on this aspect.
This discussion focused on how the emergence of Functionalism and the Bauhaus influences has been disregarded since digital architecture emerged and how architecture education has lost its way in the fundamental decision making in the design process. This then affects the quality of graduates who became not good enough to be architects.
Form-making is not just to do with embellishment but adopting the right aesthetic principles from the very beginning of the training to be an architect.
