We are going to name these views "variations" as these views transform a mere object into a process. This transformation is possible through variation as this method allows one to decode the process into physical entities. | We are going to name these views "variations" as these views transform a mere object into a process.

Each entity is precious as it is a link to the other objects in the same class, only together can they be coherent enough to convey meaning to the design research. | Each entity is precious as it is a link to the other objects in the same class, only together can they be coherent enough to convey meaning to the design research. | ||
Variation inside a class of objects describes its complexity. Describing these variations means finding small differences which make each element of such a class unique. Using variation as a method of research means not just designing one building but a series of buildings. For this, we aim to investigate the possibility of associating the notion of behavior with a building or with a built environment. | Variation inside a class of objects describes its complexity.

Thus, variation can be seen as a way of describing, say, the changing in morphology of an architectural object, but most importantly, "to vary" means to transform a common building into a class, to give it a special array of behavioral characteristics. | Thus, variation can be seen as a way of describing, say, the changing in morphology of an architectural object, but most importantly, "to vary" means to transform a common building into a class, to give it a special array of behavioral characteristics. | ||
− | The team's strategy will be that of firstly looking at objects and trying to describe them as a variation of multiple factors, once this stage is over, the part this project will play within the group (as the environment the architectural variation describes) and within the city(as a design exercise) will become clearer. | + | The team's strategy will be that of firstly looking at objects and trying to describe them as a variation of multiple factors, once this stage is over, the part this project will play within the group (as the environment the architectural variation describes) and within the city(as a design exercise) will become clearer. |
