movement as a philosophy of
approaching concept design

A Research Proposal for a Master Thesis to be Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the

Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Architectural Engineering
By : Mahmoud Mohamed Esam
Introduction
The diagram is the preferred

method
for
researching,
communicating,
theorizing
and
pursuing architectural designs.
The thesis investigates the Diagramism movement from socio-cultural studies,

science, philosophy, technology, CAD/CAM, computing and virtual/digital design point
of view & How to use this movement to create purposeful designs During
contemporary architecture .

Research Problem
The
overarching
purpose
of
any
architectural Diagram is to act as a visual
language - a medium between thoughts
and reality.
The thesis aims to complement existing
discourse on architectural diagrams so
that a general understanding can be
approached
through
critique
and
comparison for approaching the concept
design.

The Book illustrate how you can create and use diagrams to clarify your understanding of both particular projects and
eorganizing principles and ideas. With accessible, step-by-step exercises that interweave diagrams, drawings and virtual
wmodels, the authors clearly show you how to compose meaningful and useful diagrams.
