Learning outcomes:
-to guide the student into identifying the critical problematic of the border-line domain between house architecture and city, between the evolution or city living and city development;
-to use modular design meant to overlay functional units (rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, etc) and constructive units (various spans of the reinforced concrete structures);
-to experiment the grouping of several housing units around a vertical circulation node;
-to practice the organization of spaces of various degrees of public, semi-public, and private character meant to facilitate social communication;
-to structure a psycho-socio-logical approach of the urban space;
-to promote some appropriate constructive systems of such buildings (reinforced concrete frames or reinforced concrete frames and diaphragms);
-to acquire the notion of use flexibility of the interior space of apartments on long term.
Content:
The guidance within the architectural studio is based on teaching students the complementariness between free composition (intuition-oriented) and that following some rules/models. This principle is expressed in two major directions:
- guided projects (of various complexity)
- one-day project
The themes imposed for the Third Year, semester 2, Design Studio, is focused on DWELLING AND CITY, including a synthesis project conceived by the Chair:
“Collective Housing in Fewer Floor Buildings (Ground floor + 3-4)”
Teaching Method:
-Theoretical lectures (with illustrations) delivered by professors for all the year students or within the design shops;
-Continual guidance through the study activity;
-Correction of each student’s work or with the whole group;
-site visits, case analysis, worksheets, project sketches, scale models.
Assessment:
Student's own defense of his/her project, for which the jury will give a grade.
