Overview
Architecture design studio 4 continues to expand on the conceptual understanding and skill base of preceding design studios. The unit elaborates on architectural design as a process of investigation, critical observation, and experiment. It increases the emphasis on design as a synthetic process encompassing a range of complex issues inherent in the production of architecture - material, structure, program, site, history and representation are investigated in their relationship to the production of architectural form.
Architecture design studio 4 continues to enhance the development of architectural designs through the three-dimensional and material testing of ideas. Studies in the unit will maintain your focus on developing an understanding of design as a visual language and process of cultural production with a focus on social and environmental sustainability.
