Schedule: 10.01.2019 - 11.04.2019
Teaching Period (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
III-IV
Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Basic knowledge of performance-oriented architectural design
Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
The studio is an introduction into performance-oriented architectural design. It explores the simultaneous use of building structures as conceptual framework for sustainable design. The studio aims at an understanding of architecture as modulator of environmental conditions at the threshold between the technical and the spatial. The use of digital tools for simulation and the acquaintance of the underlying theoretical knowledge is expected.
Assessment Methods and Criteria (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Presentation at the interim and final jury is required as well as the timely hand-in of the final documentation. Weekly working in the studio is obligatory. Shortcomings will result in reduction of the final grade of at least one grade. The assessment is based on the design outcome (70%), the final documentation (20%), and active participation (10%). Grading is based on the following scheme:
5: outstanding (exceeds expectations)
4: very good (fulfils all expectations)
3: good (only minor shortcomings)
2: satisfying (major shortcomings in some areas)
1: acceptable (major shortcomings in almost all areas but meets minimum level)
0: not acceptable (major shortcomings in almost all areas)
Workload (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Total workload of 270 hrs consisting of input lectures (10 hrs), studio work (75 hrs), documentation (25 hrs) and independent design development (160 hrs)

The order of priority for admitting students to courses at Aalto ARTS 1.1.2018 onwards (approved by The Committee of Arts, Design and Architecture on 10.10.2017)
The order of priority is as follows:
- students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have scheduled it for the current academic year in their personal study plan (HOPS);
- exchange students for whom the course is a part of his/her officially approved learning agreement and scheduled to be taken during the current semester;
- students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have not completed it yet;
- students, for whom the course is part of his/her major’s or programme’s alternative studies and has been scheduled in the student's PSP (HOPS) for the current academic year
- students, for whom the course is part of his/her major’s or programme’s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;
- students for whom the course is compulsory for their minor;
- students, for whom the course is part of his/her minor subject’s alternative studies and who have not completed the requisite number of credits for alternative studies yet;
- students who have applied for the course through a student mobility scheme (internal mobility within Aalto University, flexible study right (JOO) studies etc.);
- other students.
Courses that are intended to be multidisciplinary (e.g. UWAS courses) may apply an order of priority based on the learning outcomes of the course, while bearing in mind the university obligation of enabling students to complete their degrees within the normative duration of study set for the degree. The order of priority does not apply to courses organised by the Centre for General Studies or doctoral courses.
This decision on the order of priority does not influence the right of the teacher to define prerequisites for the course.
