Abstract

This series – “Speaking – is part of a graduation project for a double degree in Architecture and Science Communication at the Delft University of Technology. The overall aim of this project was to design a form language that can be used in complex problem-solving processes in the field of science communication. The graduation project consists of three parts:
Part I: “Speaking architecture, a semiotic study toward understanding visual communication in architecture;
Part II: “Speaking architecture, design and analysis of a multi-interpretational market space in Haarlem;
Part III: “Speaking through form, an analogy between architectural form and communication to contribute to complex problem-solving processes.
Part I describes the research for MSc Architecture. This research was part of the Explore Lab graduation studio. This part tried to understand visual communication in architecture. The framework of visual communication that derived from this research formed the foundation for the graduation design, described in Part II. The architectural meaning of the design of a Market Hall for Haarlem was later analysed using the same method as in Part I. Based on this fourth case study, the framework of architectural communication was refined.This review was necessary to better understand the subject of architectural communication in order to cross the border into the field of science communication. Part III, lastly, translates the way in which architecture communicates to the design of a form language.
