Program overview

The course has been designed to allow students to work individually and in studio groups while encouraging them to engage with broader theoretical debates that are pertinent to contemporary practice. The integrative nature of the investigations will provide students with an understanding of the situational structure of architecture and can serve as a foundation for a more fully developed human ecology. Students will also be challenged with understanding current issues in architectural design, and learn how to integrate meaningful approaches to design, whilst gaining skills in visualisation and fabrication.
