In this episode, we do our weekly update of our week after reading with a history field trip and good tutorials, then we move onto our topic of aesthetics in architecture and also architectural education (in our projects). We talk about what aesthetics are; functionality vs aesthetics and the saying of 'form follows function' in architecture; composing a hero image for our project in architecture school, and developing an eye for aesthetics as a designer and also in real life. We finally wrap it up with how we think aesthetics/visuals influence our design projects and how we balance it with more grounding aspects, and why aesthetics could be important.
