Course Contents | This studio course continues with the concerns raised by the theme of the previous semester and offers a line of alternative topics of relatively ‘large scale’ architectural projects concerning buildings with a public character, a complex building program and specific requirements at multiple levels (contextual integration, management and reflection on complex building requirements, morphological and aesthetic approach, structural and constructional standards and specific technological issues, etc.). In this course students are called to compose knowledge gained from the development of all previous laboratories of architectural design. The ability of managing all possible relationships developed in space, offers a wide range of approach since all dimensions of design require redefinition. In this sense this studio is not only offered as a field of synthesizing knowledge that was acquired but also as a field of experimentation and close observation in all range of subjects that constituted the educational process (urban issues, process of planning, construction technology, bioclimatic design, materiality, etc). | ||||||||
