Yes, No, Maybe: An Architectural Application of Compositional Choice Tactics
![CHARCOAL](https://modos.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/project-images/_intro/CHARCOAL.png)
When chance is discussed in architecture, it appears as the antithesis of the formal, established processes of architecture and construction. This thesis works to develop a methodology influenced by Kester Rattenbury's architectural application of random compositional choice tactics, an adaption of the ancient Chinese Book of Changes, the I-Ching — in the way that the musician John Cage used it to compose his pieces.
This process of making is not in the pursuit of random chance; choices are realised through the act of questions asked. Chance is used as a discipline to aid in the development of a methodology, a pattern language.
