Overview
Building on the basic architectural knowledge and skills attained in Foundation studio 1, this unit introduces you to a further level of complexity in the processes of investigation, critical observation, and experiment. The synthesis of a range of complex issues inherent in the production of architecture - material, structure, program, site, history and representation - is further investigated in relationship to the production of architectural form.
Foundation studio 2 further emphasises the development of architectural designs through the three-dimensional and material testing of ideas. You will continue the development of two and three-dimensional modes of representation. Studies will focus on developing a more nuanced understanding of design as a visual language and process of cultural production with a focus on social and environmental sustainability.
