Studio Abstract:

Underlying the form - structure - aesthetic, the idea of a shelter, the elementary function of separation, interior, exterior, the household inside a more essential value, that territorial of belongings which defines what is specifically ‘dwelling’ that circumscribes its peculiarity from its individual identity or numerous identities.

Future house studio primary interest in architectural design and research is coming from the basic understanding of matter-movement-form that is interlinked from one another. 

The design of the house must have a contextual content, informed by the owner’s occupation, lifestyle, gender, etc. House is where an individual life is represented and the students are expected to develop the design scenarios that constitute the uniqueness of a living behavior, and also to develop ecological strategies.

“Machine for living” , “ … the profession of the architect preserving construction as a space for mediation.” “The house has a dual purpose.”

-       Le Corbusier (18^th and 19^th Century)

“The Phaeno Science Center is the most ambitious and complete statement of our quest for complex, dynamic, and fluid spaces.”

“It is about no 90ºcorners.The diagonal was the beginning of all this. The diagonal created the idea of explosion reforming space. That was an important discovery.”

-       Zaha Hadid ( 20^th Century)

The intimate anatomy of a future dwelling, it is depending on the discerning chef, in our case it is an architect’s role to establish the essence of space, essential relation with the ground, to fully utilize the advent of the recent technology.

Recent advance technology in rapid prototyping and programing allow architects to conceive space beyond the old-fashioned means of static composition and spatial arrangement.

 

General Outcomes:

The students are expected to be able to:

- Have the flexibility to design using parametric tools and software’s;

- Demonstrate desire for innovation on both technological and architectural terms;

- Design Interior and Exterior spaces at the same time through digital parametric modelling;

-Produce drawings rigorously with their modelling and compositional techniques with attention to precision and finer details, yet effective and efficient;

-Understand the basic digital geometry and tectonics;

- Prepare their future challenge in architecture industry.

End Products:

The students are expected to submit the end product of:

- Max. 2 Presentation boards in A0 format (landscape orientation), during studio progress;

- Max. 4 Presentation boards in 100 cm x 200 cm format for final presentation;

- 3d printing prototype (maximum size 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm for scaled model)

These outputs will be exhibited by the end of the studio course by the early of August 2016.
