Puzzling Assemblies, by architects and educators Dwayne Oyler and Jenny Wu, is an in-depth investigation into the robust relationship between architectural concepts and puzzle logics.
Organized into three primary sections, Puzzling Assemblies is a dissection of this idea—offering insights into its potential to enrich contemporary architectural thinking. Through rigorous design investigations, detailed drawings, and diverse analysis, Oyler Wu unpacks some of the fundamental assembly methods of puzzled forms and engages a series of physical and perceptual operations that boldly reimagine them at a range of scales.
Succinctly composed and incisively abstract, Oyler Wu presents an inviting examination that expands on tectonic and aesthetic principles of this process, offering a fresh perspective on the evolution of their design approach. With an introduction by Thom Mayne, and essays from practicing architects like Nader Tehrani, Marcelyn Gow, Paul Lewis, Ed Ford, David Erdman, and Anna Neimark, and a new series of models and projects—Puzzling Assemblies presents a technical primer for multivalent explorations in design, introducing a methodology that emphasizes experimentation and discovery.
