Om emnet
The brief for the fall 2022 semester will be to design a medium sized public building on a specific urban site. The work will be individual and all students will be developing their architectural proposals based on different programs.
The TAP studio acknowledges that architectural quality depends on our care for tangible and measurable, as well as emotional and immeasurable dimensions.
The Building in Life studio has a special interest in the temporal aspects of architecture. Hence, formal, spatial, structural, material and tectonic responses to the program and the site will be explored and discussed through the lens of temporality.
In addition to the emphasis on teaching the art of building design, the T A P studio has a special interest in the structure and presence of the unbuilt architectural project (e.g. student work and paper projects), hence there will be a focus on the framing and the formatting of the students’ individual work.
Site, or other relevant framework for the task:
The site for the project will be in Venice, Italy. Every student will be given a specific site within the Dorsodura district.
Main output of the students work:
A building proposal narrated through models, drawings, illustrations and text.
Læringsutbytte
- Knowledge about the making of a medium sized public building in a specific urban context.
- Skills in architectural design, detailing and representation.
- General competence in the framing of an architectural interest, the structuring of an explorative design process and the editing of an architectural proposal.
Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter
There will be a set schedule for the semester with a detailed weekly program consisting of input on Mondays (lectures, plenum discussions based on relevant texts and occasional viewing of films appropriate to the theme of the studio), individual desk crits on Wednesdays and pin-ups on Fridays where the students are encouraged to engage in and discuss each other’s work.
During the semester there will be a week long workshop focusing on architectural illustration.
The design process will be divided into distinct phases from idea to detailed project and finalization. Each phase will be reviewed collectively with an external critic.
If allowed, an excursion to Europe will be part of the studio.
