Learning Outcomes
After having successfully completed the course, students will be able to:
_explore relations of architectural narrative and concept with space, form, programme and context,
_understand a complex programme brief and design a special large scale building,
_address the requirements of an international competition,
_explore and experiment with contemporary construction methods and materials along the synthetic procedure of design
Course Content (Syllabus)
Advanced design studio. It focuses on design concept structuring and
experimentation, aiming at design that can address the requirements of an international competition.
It explores interrelationships among architectural narrative with place, space, form and program
through the design of a large Scale Office Complex. The brief will address the requirements of an
international competition for the design of the Headquarters of a large company. Emphasis will be
given to notions such as programmatic and spatial structure, as well as identity and iconicity.
Design will be on level of preliminary study, with the production of an
A3 dossier as the final presentation. The ability to use multiple means and programmes is required,
while the use of working models is strongly encouraged.
Keywords
