MacKay-Lyons

Everyone should find value in Fitting, Framing, and Forming; MacKay-Lyons’ ideas form a simple outline for the design process.Why bother with a site analysis or community charette if you don’t agree with fitting? Schematic design and so on (framing and forming) should logically flow out of those exercises. It has been stated many times, but the only effective buildings are those that respond to their environment.

I would definitely participate in a design/build experience like Ghosts. I was lucky enough to have a studio in undergrad that did a design/build project and it was one of the best experiences of my time there. That project took more time and money than anticipated (like most do), but the amount of knowledge I gained in less than a month is invaluable.
