Integrated Design 1: Context and Use module (AR12008)

This module is structured around a tutored studio-based integrated design project, supported by lecture inputs on design methods and analysis of precedent. The semester-long design project places a focus on the relationship between place, use, and architectural form, and asks students to integrate spatial, structural and environmental concerns. Students analyse the project context and translate building user needs into a programme of spaces to help inform their design decisions. The studio environment promotes experimentation with form and material, encouraging development of ideas into 3-dimensional architectural proposals with a relationship to their site context.
