Forkunnskapskrav
Admission to AHO and successful completion of three years bachelor level studies (180 ECTS).
Students should master Rhino, Autocad or equivalent cadprograms for studying architectural solutions in 2D and 3D.
Part of course series: MSB
The course is open to students from: Architecture
Om emnet
The existing building complex of AHO in Maridalsveien 29 is currently too small to accommodate the ongoing increasing number of students and staff. The MSB studio will therefore challenge the student group to explore various possibilities for expanding the existing facility's volume with functional spaces by means of testing different structural solutions. The feasibility studies must explore and study important topics as:
- Thorough analyzes of site, existing building facility, structures, climate shell and technical installations
- New building volume additions to a listed building complex
- Impact on the nearby urban fabric and the Akerselva landscape area
- various structural materiality and principles impact on architectural quality customized for different use and program for a building over time.
- Noise, silence, sun and daylight conditions
- Flexibility, generality for different programs
- Accessibility, universal design
- Fire safety and escape conditions
- View and transparency
- Structures, and material use
- Investigation of gentle construction methods
- Energy, resource use, resilience
Læringsutbytte
Knowledge about:
- how to explore, create and organize good architectural additions in a given context on to an existing listed building complex
- how to deal with different structural materials and loadbearing principles
- how to deal with the building physics challenges, physical structure and materiality
- how strategies of fire security and acoustic implications can inform structural organization of different spaces and detailing of architectural building elements.
Skills:
Being able to discuss, consider and explore:
- spatial and tactile qualities within a holistic architectural concept
- various structural materiality and principles impact on architectural quality customized for different use and program for a building over time
- a building envelope designfor new additional building volumes with a declared relationship to the existing architecture
- architectural expression and materiality in relation to an actual location context
Being able to document and present a conclusive and comprehensive and sustainable architectural project on an actual plot through excellent illustrations and a physical model.
General competence:
Being able to apply the acquired knowledge about structures, spaces and building shape envelope into sustainable architecture.
Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter
The studio will be carried through with a main emphasis on architectural projects to be completed in groups of 2 students. Project material is expected to be detailed using digital tools, as well as small and large scale models. Preliminary sketching and development of ideas is to be done using analogue tools. Otherwise, the course includes various activities:
- initial subtasks on current topics
- theme-oriented lectures
- private and group input / lectures and discussions
- inspection of relevant local projects
- an excursion
- reviews every second week
- contribution with text and illustrations to a MSB coursebook in the end of the semester
It is possible to inform the study administration by an e-mail the name of your fellow student you plan to co-work with when you sign up for the course.
Pensum
Course literature will be available in Leganto.
