Start semester
80 603 S P A - Studio for Potential Architecture
It is recommended that the students have experience in building design.
The main objective for Studio for Potential Architecture is to produce projects where the instrumental framework for development of architectural form is investigated and explored.
The brief will be a church for a congregation on an urban site. At the beginning of the semester the students will be presented with a brief and a choice of two sites. Initial studies of the relationship between church inventory and church space will establish the ground for the individual design project that is to be developed until it reaches completion in a relevant scale.
At the end of the studio the student will have aquired knowledge on design methodology, building design and techtonics.
The student will have improved his/her skills in conceptual design development and architectural representation.
Teaching will be in the form of studio tutoring, reviews, lectures and seminars.
There will be an initial task that requires study of texts by and about chosen practising architects.
