Design Studio

The intent of these courses is to develop skills and gain experience in architectural design through the application of design and analysis techniques to complex building types. This is approached through a series of design projects aimed at the exploration of generative factors in the definition of built form. Projects are closely related to existing contexts and parallel current practicing conditions. Both individual and group work are included..
