Teaching methods
We will be teaching through a range of methods, which merge practical skills and critical thinking about architecture and spatial design in response to critical contemporary issues. We have prepared a series of assignments and workshops which cover these.
Group work is a key part of our studio, and all assignments will be undertaken in larger groups of 2-4 students. To help foster work in groups we will be hosting workshops on communication and collaboration.
Construction of models, large scale mockups, and tests will be a key part of the design process.
