Overview

The Transition architecture studio 2 is for those enrolled in the three-year Master of Architecture academic program and provides further foundations in architectural design and construction. The unit investigates the synthesis of complex issues inherent in the production of architecture, such as material, structure, construction, program, site, urbanism and representation. The unit will advance understanding of two and three-dimensional conventions for communicating architectural ideas across a range of media. Projects will develop more nuanced understanding of design as a visual language, a process of cultural production and a contributor to social and environmental sustainability.
