This seminar will look closely at theories and methods of heterogeneity to expose and expand upon their architectural potential in the context of the circular economy. How do we work with things at hand, the as-found, the imperfect, or broken, to reimagine these through a contemporary lens? Combining discussions on episodes of heterogeneity within architectural history with experimental design work, the aim of the seminar will be to develop new frameworks for constructing differences in a contemporary architectural context. Coursework includes weekly readings, participation in seminar discussions and presentations, and a creative project.
