Om emnet

The project task will be a medium-sized, multistory building for workplaces in an urban setting.

The course will explore future types and patterns of work, and their architectural implications. The studies will be carried out within a life-cycle perspective of design, construction and reuse of buildings, components and materials. Quantified aims for energy use and emissions will be discussed. The role of location (dependency of transport), resilience (robustness and adaptability to climatic and economical change), materials (health, emissions, durability) and energy (in production and use) will be analyzed. Existing methods, systems and frameworks for life-cycle analyses will be presented and discussed.

The studio encourages both qualitative and quantitative evaluations and investigations. 3D printing and computer-aided design are paired with sketches and manual models. An idealistic and innovative approach merges with a commercial scenario, on a real site in Oslo.

Pedagogy

The learning approach is project-based. The students develop architectural projects, with tasks given and advised by the staff. Lectures and workshops focusing on selected themes will contribute to knowledge and skills relevant for the project.

Læringsutbytte

Knowledge:

of designing a building for present and future workplaces
of the prinicples of life-cycle thinking in the design, construction, use and reuse of buildings
of the concepts of resilience and adaptability and their architectural implications
of quantified aims for energy use and GHG emissions
of methods and tools for life-cycle analyses
of the role of transport, materials, building subsystems, and indoor climatization and daylight in the use of energy and emission of greenhouse gases.
of designing for adaptability and reuse.
of best-practice examples of design based on life-cycle thinking
of architectural patterns /typologies shown to be successful for the specific task
of reducing the ecological footprint of architecture
of optimizing architectural design to a specific contextual and climatic situation
of what tools are available to assist the design of sustainable and climate-adapted architecture
of best-practice climatically informed and inspired architecture
of how different structural systems and building materials, interact with relevant architectural strategies.

Skills:

To be able to critically engage in a development of a building for workplaces in a life-cycle perspective.
To use computer-aided design in the conceptual development and evaluation of the architecture of a complex, medium-sized building.
To 3D print models as part of architectural exploration and documentation.
To use 2D projection drawings as a tool for planning.
To use refined techniques for communicative visual and written presentations.

General Competence:

To plan and design a medium-sized, multistory building for workplaces.
To develop a sustainable conceptual design based on a life-cycle perspective
To understand the interrelation of architectural strategies and the design of the different subsystems in a medium-sized multistory building.
To realize the sustainable design through form, materials and details
To make and argue for decisions on sustainability and architectural quality
To develop a position to the questions of sustainability and architectural quality.

Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter
