In [With Reference], Soo Chan of SCDA explores the fundamentals of architecture--going back to inspirations and precedents, examining basic building blocks and core values--in search of a universal spatial vocabulary for contemporary practice. As practice becomes increasingly globalized and fragmented, the applied design language has to absorb nuances of climate, craft, culture, and place. Through a rich diagrammatic analysis of seminal projects by SCDA as well as masters of architecture around the world, [With Reference] argues for the revival of a rule-based design language.
