The design process of a project and its construction process are united into one continuous and intertwined making process, unfolding in a step-by-step sequence. Design ends together with the completion of the construction process. "Making" is a conception of the ...

Four detailed drawings of the large classrooms, including a) the ceiling framing plan of the room with the wide and flat beams and the massive cross beams, b) the longitudinal section, c) the cross section, and d) a construction detail.

Views of one sketch and four drawings of one college building; the sketch juxtaposes a simple grid to an aperiodic grid, and the next drawing shows the pattern of beams at the first and second ceiling levels, organized in an ...
