This studio asked a series of fundamental questions about the built environment. The first half of the semester asked students to reconsider the everyday world that we pass by often unaware, in a new way. Using the ASU Tempe campus as a laboratory, we asked very simple questions to each of the buildings on campus. By dissecting the details around us, a fundamental language of architecture began to emerge. The result of this half of the semester is the book that you now hold in your hands.
