Experimental architecture
New article name is Experimental Architecture.
Experimental architecture is the branch of the architectural discipline concerned with the development of conceptual projects challenging conventional and consolidated practices. Its main object is to explore original paths of thought and develop innovative design tools.
The term "Experimental Architecture" was first introduced in the architectural debate with a more general sense by Peter Cook (architect) in 1970, through the publication of his book titled "Experimental Architecture"[1]. The foundation of "Experimental Architecture" as a distinct disciplinary field is mostly due to the work and research of Lebbeus Woods, who also created in 1988 the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture, with the intent to promote and develop the experimental approach within the architectural practice and education.
