This edition of the Architectural Culture Lecture Series [CCCA] explores various approaches to architecture and the city through an understanding of the floor plan. Graphic representation is an indispensable instrument in the discipline, and the floor plan, as the quintessential architectural tool, not only represents the project's concept but also manifests a discourse—a vision of the specific context in which the work is framed. History, economy, and society are all captured within it.
