About the course
Course content
The course investigates and challenges the PROCESS OF DESIGNING ( - BUILDINGS ),it works with the ability to FORMULATE PRECISE architectural ideas and concepts, through using key words, build stories, writing poems, making sketches and simple conceptual models. This derives from the belief that if you are capable of formulating and informing your project with A HIGH LEVEL OF PRECISION, it is much easier to translate this into a precise, strong, architecturally clear project.
Learning outcome
Main goal is that the students might reach a new level of conciousness in working with the (architectural-) design process, through actively be able to identify their architectural intentions concerning form, space, space -character, light, sequence, movement as well as contextual presence.
Learning methods and activities
Project based studio. Each of the three project periods start with a series of 1 to 3 4 day sketches investigating a precise formulated form-theme.
