Framing Research for Design: Investigating the Context of Mass-Customized Dwelling in San Francisco

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Brian Kelly

The ability to comprehensively understand the context of a future design proposal is essential to reducing generalizations and assumptions about place and user. A deeper understanding comes through intensive investigative research which seeks to reveal connections within a complex system. This project demonstrates one of several examples from an interdisciplinary design studio where students were challenged to interrogate the context of mass customized dwelling in the context of San Francisco, and to do so through the lens of seven systems.
