In this weeks reading "Politics and the situationist International" it questions how architecture addresses issues beyond just form and functionality of a building. Function was illustrated as this warm, sheltering, secure entity as well as spatial entity to accommodate designated activities. In saying this, a political and moral perspective is questioned in design. Architecture was described as being a visual art in which political and moral dimensionality are not something one can literally see. These dimensionalities, although hidden to the eye, play a large role in the functional aspects of a design, and the desired emotive response of the user... there is a certain sense of control that can be achieved in design.. an interesting thought heading into project 1 and 2.
