USP-E0314 - Capstone Project, Lecture, 5.9.2023-5.12.2023
This course space end date is set to 05.12.2023 Search Courses: USP-E0314
Main Task: Battersea, London
We will collaborate with The Royal College of Art in London to design the future of the Battersea area, where its new satellite campus is now located. The task is based on a method for qualitative evolutionary design. The work will start with a workshop in London on 26-30 September, 2023.
The method used in this assignment is an iteration of the method from the Tervasaari task, but now we will have more time.
Deliverables
Concept Design
= Evolutionary steps 1-7 (referring to the Tervasaari Task)
- descriptive narrative on your process
Schematic Design
= Refined material on the chosen solution (The extents and scales of the documents are dependent on the design solutions)
- general site plan
- areal section(s)
- floor plan, including both indoor and outdoor spaces
- perspective images from air, indoors and walking level
- possible animation
- possible scale model(s)
In case of a student from outside design fields, please make a written document (a scientific paper or an essay) concerning chosen themes of qualitative evolutionary design and the feasibility to the development of the site
Please prepare also a video, with which you present your key message.
C In the end, you will make a short video (max 10 min) presenting your work and the process and thinking behind it. The video should include all above documents and it can be a combination of animation and filming.
After showing your video, everyone reflects also on
1) The task of qualitative evolutionary design
2) The medium of video and animation for presenting qualitative evolutionary architecture: what technical or methodical choice was successful, what not and what you could have done in another way.
