VARIATIONS looks at the assignment as an opportunity to design a process that defines objects as belonging to classes and families. According to variation principles, every stage of the design becomes a physical entity that learns from predecessors and informs new iterations. The design is then able to evolve and ultimately behave as part of a redefined family(the totality of projects). | VARIATIONS looks at the assignment as an opportunity to design a process that defines objects as belonging to classes and families.

VARIATIONS does not try to fix the "problems" of the site but identifies the remoteness and the degree of specialization of the shipyard as the most important feature-lines for a further design proposal. A possible project-brief demands the design of a new research and leisure water centre in the RDM dock, generically described as RDM Public Bath. | VARIATIONS does not try to fix the "problems" of the site but identifies the remoteness and the degree of specialization of the shipyard as the most important feature-lines for a further design proposal.
