The core idea for this book is the use of operative verbs as tools
for designing space. These operative verbs abstract the idea of
spatial formation to its most basic terms, allowing for an
objective approach to create the foundation for subjective spatial
design. Examples of these verbs are expand, inflate, nest, wist,
lift, embed, merge and many more. Together they form a visual
dictionary decoding the syntax of spatial verbs. The verbs are
illustrated with three-dimensional diagrams and pictures of designs
which show the verbs ‘in action’. This approach was devised,
tested, and applied to architectural studio instruction by Anthony
Di Mari and Nora Yoo while teaching at Harvard University’s
Career Discovery Program in Architecture in 2010. As instructors
and as recent graduates, they saw a need for this kind of catalogue
from both sides - as a reference manual applicable to design
students in all stages of their studies, as well as a teaching tool
for instructors to help students understand the strong spatial
potential of abstract operations.
