LEARNING OUTCOMES

The studio introduces advanced skills, concepts and approaches essential to understanding and engaging with contemporary challenges in architecture and urban design. Organized in 6-7 parallel streams of exploration, each stream is aiming at a common set of learning outcomes that enable students to

1. Research, analyse and synthesise contextual knowledge.

2. Apply fundamental design principles and adapt them to sustainable design response.

3. Work productively in small design teams by enhancing inter-personal skills, verbal communication skills and critical thinking.

4. Communicate design intentions and concepts according to disciplinary conventions.

5. Explore creative processes and idea generation and demonstrate critical evaluation of these processes in their design work.

6. Appraise how design can impact, interact with, and improve environments.
