| Course description |
This course involves studio-based work in which rigorous experimentation and research in contemporary architectural design techniques takes place. It develops the design experimentation conducted in 'Design Project 1', and culminates in a thoroughly resolved architectural proposal for a specified urban setting. The range of knowledges and skills developed in courses in architectural theory and digital design are expected to be thoroughly integrated into this architectural proposal. |
