| Course Description | The Architectural Design 7 Studio is primarily built on a process of research & development, in regard to her architectural output. The studio teams scan the specified environment to find a location of further work. The research on and around the indicated focus provides a basis for the development process of the architectural project. The expectation is to keep the scale of the project limited, while achieving a high level of fidelity in the design work. The studio environment is envisaged to be enriched with contributions from the actors of various backgrounds, including arts, technology, sociology and production. |
