SPA: Studio for Potential Architecture
Passed foundation level
The main objective of Studio for Potential Architecture is to produce projects where the instrumental framework for development of architectural form is investigated and explored.
The brief will be a small museum for a fictitious art collection in an urban context.
At the beginning of the semester the student will be presented with a brief and a site for the project. Initial studies of the relation between exhibition space and exhibition object will establish the ground for the individual design project that is to be developed until it reaches completion in a relevant scale.
At the end of the studio the student will have acquired knowledge on design methodology, building design and tectonics.
The student will have improved his/her skills in conceptual design development and architectural representation.
Teaching will be in the form of studio tutoring, reviews, lectures and seminars.
SPA requires full time studies and the workload is expected to be substantial.
