Abstract

This edition of ARSNET reconsiders part-whole relations in the architectural design process. The articles in this study show how parts and whole can be dependent on, or independent of, each other. This edition expands how parts can be understood in architecture, as objects, broken parts, sequential layers, or material traces. This variation then leads to creative techniques to reveal or reconstruct the whole through collages, tracings, and narrative approaches. Through such inquiry, the architectural whole emerges in more complex ways, existing through narratives of sequences, created from localised interactions, and ever evolving across scales and temporalities. By looking at multiple understandings of part and whole across various studies in architecture and its corresponding creative techniques, this edition contributes to how meaningful organisation can be established.
