Course content
The main goal of the studio is to give students systematic disciplinary training as well as design skills. The studio will be oriented towards the professional practice, focusing on architectural design of a given brief within a tight schedule. During the course, the students will develop three individual projects. Each project will be reviewed in a final presentation at the end of each project period. Thus, the studio will demand intensive work throughout the entire semester.
The three projects will focus on responsible building production through critical explorations of the following concepts: size, longevity, optimalization, adaption and reuse. Each project will have a specific architectural brief formulated by the studio teachers. The briefs will be fully developed before the beginning of the semester.
