Abstract

This paper outlines an analysis-centered research project undertaken by a group of second-year architecture and interior design students in a recent introductory building technology course. In this semester-long project, fifteen buildings were examined through a series of linked exercises that slowly built for the students an understanding of the complexities involved in the process of designing and constructing architectural works.
