Overall Educational Objective To develop one’s design skills by studying basic structural behaviors and materiality both in rural and urban contexts whilst exploring digital and analogue representation tools and techniques.
Course Description This course is based on studying, understanding, exploring and representing architectural design questions critically and conceptually with basic structural knowledge and materiality in urban and rural contexts. Learners are expected to develop design proposals in response to project assignments and develop their representational skills by doing studio exercises and homework. This course also requires working collectively and competently in a group setting as well as working independently.

Teaching MethodsThe course involves a combination of: lectures, seminars, presentations, demonstrations, individual critiques, group critiques, site visits, field trips, group and individual discussions.
Homework and ProjectsStudents will work on three separate projects, under the direction of changing studio instructors. All projects will be assessed through studio reviews. Additionally, there will be particular exercises (Alternative Wednesdays) taking place on six days throughout the semester. These exercises will not be a part of the ongoing design projects, but they will support the thinking and representation tools and processes indirectly. Students are required to submit their semester portfolios and sketchbooks at the end of the semester.
