Purpose of class
Demonstrate the ability to design a housing complex while taking the surrounding environment into consideration.
Course description
The focus of this course is on the architectural design of collective housing. Today’s society has entered a transition period from an era demanding ”quantity” to an era of ”quality”. This requires an exploration of how housing complexes can be transformed to dwellings with increased richness. Participants are required to visit the actual project site, investigate the surrounding environment, and reflect findings in their plans. Students will work in small groups to develop their designs and drawings.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand the characteristics of a housing program and be able to design a housing complex, ab initio.
  2. To be able to read site conditions in detail and design in accordance with the surrounding environment.
  3. To be able to integrate functional, environmental, and structural studies into a single architectural design.
  4. To be able to express plans appropriately and attractively using advanced techniques in drawings, computer graphics, models, etc.
  5. To be able to fully express and discuss one’s own ideas through the skill checks and critique sessions.
