Abstract

How is an architectural project formed? What is the role of the compositional principle in the process of a project? How can a compositional principle be deduced from the design problematic? How does this organising principle of form, which contains all the potential morphological development, define the elements that enter into the composition, their behaviour and their relation with the other elements?; how does it contribute to the coherence of the individual parts in the whole and make them remain within the same formal family?; how is a compositional principle developed morphologically until it reaches the final composition? and how is a compositional principle evaluated and valued? These are the main questions addressed in this essay that deals with the compositional principle within the architectural project process.
