Unit Overview

Description

Offered in intensive mode, these design studios require an intensity of focus and rapidity in development of the design exploration. Students are encouraged to develop individual architectural identity on the basis of technical competence rather than as a consequence of it. Propositions are complex in resolution and exhibit a considered theoretical basis for design.

The studio projects in the Intensive Architecture Studio typically require the design of medium to large-scale architectural propositions with complex contextual constraints and requirements of research informed experimental projects.
