Design Studio 3 – ARC313

The studio develops both design and critical thinking skills, more particularly in introducing the language and methods exercised in architectural design and architectural discourse. Key terms are discussed throughout each exercise, in which the development of specific and articulate language will be expected. Students are encouraged to rethink the meaning of concepts such as space, form, building, and object, among others. Naturally, this discursive exercise will require a conscious recognition and abandonment/rejection of certain assumptions found in common practice and everyday language.
