DESST 3513 - Design Studio V

Theme: impression/modularity/system This course explores the design possibilities of the cultural, environmental and programmatic contexts for a mixed-use, medium to large scale building in a dense urban context. Beginning with impressions of the site, students create propositions that explore meaning, space, form, structure, modularity, engineering systems and materiality. The course provides the necessary knowledge and skills to generate complex, resolved designs. It develops critical skills required to attain a high level of architectural and construction judgement. Students will develop ambitious designs through advanced digital and 3D modelling articulating proposals that comprehensively represent the intellectual and physical attributes of their schemes. This course assumes advanced knowledge of Rhino.
