Architectural theories stem from individual or group beliefs about design, specifically about a set of people agreeing upon one way of thinking about, and executing architecture. My few successful attempts at design have all begun by analyzing architectural theories, or at the very least- a key idea, and carrying that throughout every aspect of the design, from grand gestures to miniscule details. A theory is the beginning, it is the concept that drives design, and provides you with a set of rules or guides to follow. 

            The below artifacts all represent the varying levels of success I have had with developing my understanding of the role of Architectural Theory in design.
