Handbook

The concern of this studio is with how multiple environmental, technological and social factors influence architectural thinking and production. A complex site, both in physical and cultural content, is researched and interpreted to generate an architectural strategy and its appropriate representation. As the final studio of the undergraduate degree, a single architectural proposal is developed to a detailed level of programmatic, spatial and material complexity. The proposal, or part of the proposal, will be carried through to detailed technical resolution. The final project will be assessed in relation to evidence of thought and understanding, internal coherence and imagination in the design solution, together with the employment and interface of relevant computational tools and analogical skills.
