There are three types of architecture research: formal, conceptual, and techno-stylistic, and the research can be conducted simultaneously in one or more of these fields. Conceptual Research: the building takes on importance according on the process that generated it (e.g. aggregation of housing); the project is a result-manifesto of the research itself. Formal Research: research on the appearance of the building conducted through the study of the volume (e.g. introducing a new type) that arises from conceptual observations on the form. Techno-Stylistic Research: the material is simultaneously the outcome of a technological research (e.g. on cladding) and a defining element of the building. #2 - The form should not arise from geometric reasoning and architecture should not contain ornamental elements. #3 - The form should align with the style/trend of its time. In order to analyze a work from the past, you must place it temporally. External links Category:1975 births Category:Living people Category:Architects from Italy
