Overview

The Transition architecture studio 1 is for those entering the three-year Master of Architecture academic program and provides core foundations in architectural design and architectural communications. The unit explores architectural design as a process of investigation, critical observation and experimentation and application in urban contexts while engaging with the three-dimensional and material testing of ideas. Projects will be formulated to introduce key architectural issues such as site, space, context, activity and tectonics. The unit will also develop understanding of two and three-dimensional conventions for representation across a range of media.
