WEEK 11_COLLAGE

1. On page 22 Nicholson states, "Making requires living with something that is knowingly incorrect. It is this anti-idealistic incorrectness which mysteriously permits the work to advance." This reading also suggests that the act of collage making is as productive as the outcome. Have you used collage as a generative tool during the architectural design process?
2. On page 2 Shields states, "The practice of collage has the capacity to capture spatial and material characteristics of the built environment, acting as an analytical and interpretive mechanism." Can the rendering software that we are taught in school, such as v-ray, capture the spatial and experiential qualities that collage is capable of achieving? What are the shortcomings of v-ray/lumion/ sketchup in comparison to collage and vice versa?
3. How can digital tools successfully be used in conjunction with collage, so that the full potential of collage as suggested by the readings is not lost? Are there any examples that come to mind?
