- formulating the independent and prejudice-less thinking about architecture, about its spatial organization, structure and materiality, and its constituent elements
- stimulating the individual awareness of todays positions in architecture
- stimulating the awareness of one's own architectural position and one's own attitude toward the work with architecture

After finishing the course, the student should:
- be able to develop his/her own clear and consistent architectural working method
- be able to develop principles for structuring of both basic and complex architectural material and develop it through different scales into a final project
- be able to develop and apply the architectural knowledge about the specific project themes chosen to work with during the process
- be able to creatively use the architectural research in the project
- be able to develop and draw precisely own project through different scales, from the conceptual design to its final constructive and material stage.
- be able to present and communicate his/her architectural idea and his/her final project through the appropriate forms of representation, with drawings, models, diagrams, photos, 3Ds, etc.
- benefit from the work with a foreign guest-teacher and from the confrontation with his architectural thinking, knowledge, experience and imagination.

After finishing the course, the student should:
- be able to effectively communicate his/her architectural ideas and positions through texts, architectural drawings and models in different scale, photographs and renderings
- be able to lead public discussions and reviews on his/her own individual project
- be able to execute digital- and hand-production of models and architectural drawings etc in different scale, using the most advanced programs and techniques

General competence
The general goal of the Studio is to rethink and reinterpret themes, concepts and tools of architecture through a collaborative project with the guest teacher in the studio. In working with architecture architects work with various tools. Construction, space, program, site, context, form, sustainability, materiality and atmosphere offer just some of them. The choice of ideas, themes and tools and the way to work with them varies from one architect to another, from one project to another. Sometimes they are more recognizable identities, sometimes less. Developing ones own clear, consistent and creative attitude towards the things one chooses to work with is what studying architecture is all about.

Also, the idea is to focus on development of the individual working method through the research-based architectural design. In parallel to the main project “another project” would go on: the individual investigation of means and processes necessary for research and production of architecture. By organizing the semester work in a matrix-like structure that combines both the conceptual, analytical and intuition-based approach, the studio would like to disclose the individual potential that usually remains hidden behind the end-result of the project. By pursuing the research within a partly self-defined, partly given framework, we would like to question the preconceived images and norms of traditional design work and to initiate the processes revised by new cognitions, opened to unexpected architectural solutions.
