About this listen
Send us Fan Mail
The first episode in a two-part series on designing from first principles (as suggested by Kevin Mark Low). The concept of “first principles” in architecture can be understood in two main ways:
1. The most fundamental, timeless truths about what makes good architecture (the Vitruvian foundation that has survived 2000+ years)
2. First-principles thinking as a problem-solving method (breaking architecture down to basic physical/human truths and reasoning up from there, without leaning on tradition or analogy)
We shall introduce from research how Kevin Mark Low designed from first principles in Part 2 of this series.
