Site condition and material limits are introduced to the design process. The architectural relations between interior and exterior are established according to the use, circulation and room types; the development of the project within constraints and possibilities of construction techniques; and the site conditions. The design will be aided through basic digital fabrication.Read More

The course is focussed on exemplary modern and contemporary architects and their buildings. These form the basis of three discreet yet interdependent ‘case study’ projects. The first two projects aim to develop student skills in architectural description. The third project aims to develop student skills in the analysis and interpretation of architectural strategies. Together they teach elementary tools for the study and communication of architectural ideas and meaning.Read More
