The participants choose a subject to pursue through the period of the course.
The subject to investigate and explore can be related to ongoing or earlier studio-courses, but this is not a requirement.
Notes on intentions and reflections over past work in the course will accompany the practical work serving to clarify guidelines and the revision of these.
- Individual exercises
Intend to invigorate foundational skills and knowledge and introduce new ones. These exercises draw upon analytical and intuitive approaches familiar to art and architecture.
