In this course, John Patkau, Founding Principal of Patkau Architects, discusses some of the projects that have come out of his experience from doing research and innovation in addition to practice. What started as building models of their projects for internal use to try and better understand their compositional and formal characteristics changed as the firm transitioned to a digital practice and they started focusing more consciously on the materials that we made the buildings from themselves, the characteristics of those materials, and challenge what conventional building materials would be.
