Deepen the investigation of materiality as a complementary counterpart to the current hegemony of visual and digital design tools in project practice.
Develop the concept and application of intensive diagrams beyond atmospheric construction, exploring other ways in which the affective body can articulate project processes.
Investigate the cognitive mechanisms that may explain how intensive diagrams support designers’ perception of spaces and objects and the transfer of qualities into final design outcomes.
Explore additional operational and enriching ways in which the capacities associated with intensive diagrams can be applied within design practice.
