Tomorrow (Monday, February 13, 2012) Farshid Moussavi will be lecturing at my graduate school, the California College of the Arts. I'm looking forward to this lecture for a number of reasons, chief among them her embrace of transversal approaches to design, an approach that has strongly influenced my methodological choices for thesis. In her words, "a transversal approach [is one] neither top-down nor bottom up...in which causes and concerns that are immanent...are combined to generate forms [enabling] us to incorporate greater levels of complexity within built forms, allowing multiple inputs to interact simultaneously on the same plane to generate a multitude of novel forms, each with unique expression." (Moussavi, The Function of Form, 34).
