The course will be described through an initial presentation to students, and subsequently through briefing materials made available to them. The emphasis in this course falls upon the development and refinement of the structural, material, technical, environmental and legislative aspects of the student's design project. These, however, are not pursued as ends in themselves, but as part of a fully integrated design project guided by conceptual, theoretical, contextual and ethical concerns. |
