Bachelor in architecture.
T AP is a building design studio concerned with the measurable and immeasurable qualities of architecture. It is a studio where the students are to develop an individual architectural project from abstract concept to concrete solution. It is a studio where spatial, structural, material and tectonic considerations will be based on explicit architectural ambitions and design criteria defined by each student.
The brief for the spring 2021 semester is to design one building for the worship of two religions in Hovinbyen in Oslo.
At the start of the semester the students will receive a specified brief for the building and a specific site.
The project will be conceived and developed in two and three dimensions until it reaches completion in a scale relevant to the task.
At the end of the semester the student will have acquired knowledge about the design of a medium sized public building in a complex urban environment.
The student will have developed skills in architectural argumentation and representation and acquired experience with design methodology.
In the beginning of the semester each student is to present her/his portfolio.
The design process will be divided into distinct phases from idea to detailed project. Each phase will be reviewed collectively with external critics.
There will be individual tutoring and lectures on architecture, religious practice and urban sociology from teachers and invited guests. The main pedagogical tool of the TAP studio is the exchange between given assignments/constraints and individual freedom in the design process.
Excursions to relevant buildings will be part of the studio.
Relevant texts, recorded lectures, and interviews will be made available during the semester. These will be the basis for collective talks in the studio.
