Studio M01 AE - Design Project

This studio introduces students to the complex issues of spatial structures in architecture and methods of their design/construction. The studio implies testing approaches, procedures, technologies, and tools that enable the design and construction of spatial structures through implementation into the process of designing unconventional, rational, sustainable architectural buildings in a specific context. The focus of theoretical work is within the Studio seminar. Theoretical teaching includes presentations on typologies and morphologies of spatial structures, processes and procedures for their generation, analysis and optimisation, materialisation and fabrication. The presentations provide students with the theoretical and methodological knowledge and skills needed to complete the project assignment. Practical teaching is designed as research by design and involves working on a specific task as a basis for forming a methodological procedure and perfecting the individual design process. Special attention is paid to model studies of spatial structures.
