Abstract

This book investigates and explores architectural thinking and interdisciplinary approaches to device design, graphic design, and building technologies, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in creating an innovative and productive world, and identify the new role of architect in logos, pathos, and ethos. The first chapter discusses the designs in organ scales, facing the most pressing fatigue issues that caused car accidents. With EEG technologies, the new device aims to help truck drivers have safer rides. In this project, what I, as an architect have seen through is the revision of the human body as a delicate working machine, and dig into muscles and brain waves to do the design, and work towards a better life. Then the book explores the role of architect in the scale of logo design, where it fundamentally shares similar design strategies, like parti. Along with the class Visual Ideology class and Business as Second Language, designing a logo contains both the graphic, social, and economical meaning. Architectural projects are always deep, thorough and comprehensive in multiple meanings. Likewise, logos are also like this, where each detail matters even more. Finally, the conclusion reflects on the value of engineering techniques in creating meaningful and sustainable designs. It highlights the skills and knowledge gained through the Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design program and how these can be applied to future projects and collaborations. One project explores the reuse of scaffolding as the structure, and the other project explores the 3d printing technique efficiencies in printing concrete houses. Overall, this book aims to provide an interdisciplinary exploration of the possibility of an architect, and how the architectural design logic could be applied to different scales, showcasing the benefits of interdisciplinary design and inspiring future generations of designers to think beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries.
