TrushitVyas_PrattDesignThesis_ProjectBrief
The purpose of the project is to examine the complex relationship between form, function,
technology, urban contexts and society with the hybrid building establishing a coherent balance
of parts. The task is technique based, process driven, per formative in which open organizations develop a
new sensibility of geometric ambiguity and new ways of occupation in space and composite
forms. The motive of the subject is to mix programs to create emergent events, differentiate spaces using structures in continuous variation and apply composite materials to organize experiences that affect the subject. The complex and composite arrangement of the human anatomy as a concept connects to the subject of architecture in a way that allows new modes for the occupation of space, the
organization of programmatic activities and the design of structures.
