Architectural design education between poetry and prose

---

Purpose – This paper aims to examine how poetry and prose relate to each other in the context of
architectural design education. While the two notions tend to be presented as distinct opposites, this
paper shows how design processes are made possible by designers moving dynamically between
poetic and prosaic viewpoints.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper illustrates and supports the argument made in the
paper through a series of images taken from an educational case study. The case study further shows
how perceptions of poetry and prose can vary between different cultural backgrounds.
Findings – Building on the case study, the paper shows how architectural design education teaches
students to establish links between poetic and prosaic realms in a dynamic and flexible manner.
The discussion further provides a basis for understanding how perceptions of the prosaic and poetic
can be understood as choices made by observers.
Research limitations/implications – Limitations of this paper arise from the specificity of the
reported case study and its reliance on the personal experience of the author as a teacher of
architectural design primarily at universities within the greater China area.
Originality/value – This paper shows how the learning to move between perceptions of poetic and
prosaic is employed in architectural designing and taught in architectural education. In discussing
designers’ moving between perceptions of poetic and prosaic, the paper relates epistemologies of
cybernetics, design, traditional Chinese thought and radical constructivism.
