Abstract

Design as a critical action can be defined as a concrete-utilitarian construction process and a state-related symbolic ritual. The process of design is defined by the abstraction area, which is accompanied by abstract forms of representation for the physical environment in a built environment and the response to problems. Black Box is defined as tool, system, or object that in art and science is evaluated by inputs and outputs and does not include any internal information. The Black Box problem, which is part of the architectural design process, has been reconstructed as a critical stance to the closed and implicit architectural production process, supporting open thought to the end but formally designing houses that remain faithful to this black box. Hence, this article is an example of a physical and semantic representation production with an emphasis on design as a critical action and metaphor. This article, which presents the black box problem through a theoretical perspective and architectural design studio examples, focuses on the semantic and formal representation of all conditions of a cube. This aspect aims to provide a creative cross section from the potential of infinite design.

Highlights

  • Design—as a critical action—can be described as a state related to a concrete-symbolic creation process and to an abstract-symbolic ritual

  • Based on the association between studio instructor and student, architectural studios are an aspect of traditional architecture education

  • Studio fictions that allow for different theoretical perspectives need and encourage rethinking in modern architectural education

Summary

Introduction

Design—as a critical action—can be described as a state related to a concrete-symbolic creation process and to an abstract-symbolic ritual. Design studios focus on the relationship between creativity and abstraction to make use of their fiction with the aim that students should acquire two- and three-dimensional thinking, expression capabilities, and representation techniques with the aim of acquiring fundamental design skills and basic concepts and techniques for this skill’s development These techniques are representative types used effectively in conceptualization, solving, and presenting the problems of design. The concept and process in architectural design are parts of the overall relationships that are interconnected and interrelated; these serve a design action and allow design to be realized In this context, this study, which puts forward both the concept and black box design process as a design studio problem in first-year architecture education, offers a representative example as a critical stance against the idea that the architectural production process is closed and implicit
