Non-disciplinary tools that extend the traditional boundaries of
architectural practice provide a strong foundation for experimental design
practices that foster creativity and innovation. With this understanding, this
study focuses on found objects as a non-disciplinary tool, investigating how
they function within architectural design processes to initiate experimental
approaches, foster creative formations, and reconfigure disciplinary boundaries
through transdisciplinary and participatory practices.
This study
adopts a qualitative methodology based on theoretical analysis, thematic case
analysis, and critical synthesis. It examines three architectural projects from
Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, selected for their contextual diversity
and relevance to experimental design practices. Each case is analyzed through
four thematic categories—form-making, program generation, structural
innovation, and social engagement—developed to reveal how found objects enable
architectural experimentation. Through this structure, the study aims to bridge
conceptual thinking with practical reflections and to highlight the
transformative potential of found objects as catalysts for experimentation in
architectural design practices.
The research provides a critical and exploratory perspective on the transformative impact of non-disciplinary tools in architectural design, developing a theoretical understanding of the experimental use of found objects while offering practical suggestions to promote their creative application in design processes.
