    Designing from First Principles [Introduction]- Part 1

    18/03/2026 | 17 min
    Send us Fan Mail
    The first episode in a two-part series on designing from first principles (as suggested by Kevin Mark Low). The concept of “first principles” in architecture can be understood in two main ways:
    1.  The most fundamental, timeless truths about what makes good architecture (the Vitruvian foundation that has survived 2000+ years)
    2.  First-principles thinking as a problem-solving method (breaking architecture down to basic physical/human truths and reasoning up from there, without leaning on tradition or analogy)
    We shall introduce from research how Kevin Mark Low designed from first principles in Part 2 of this series.

    Send us Fan Mail
    Second episode of a two-part series we dive deep into how architects such as Kevin Mark Low design from first principles.
    Analysis from literature search shows that Kevin Mark Low has 5 main core elements to his first principles-inspired design process:
    1. Primacy of Context Specificities
    2. Radical or Critically questioning and identifying problems
    3. Details as the Resolver of Relationsips
    4. Embracing Imperfection, Time, Ageing and Decay
    5. Focus on Small Scale and Tectonics
    The discussion provides an overview based on the interviews on the internet and YouTube on his talk, his writings and my interviews with him in Talk Architecture on how his approach influences the way he teaches architecture.
