Purpose of class
In this course, students will learn research methods for investigating the urban context of the project site and design approaches that connect lifestyle studies to architectural planning. The course also aims to develop oral presentation skills and effective expression techniques.
Course content
A design studio-style exercise led by multiple faculty members.
An exercise course that addresses spatial solutions and new lifestyles appropriate to the surrounding environment as viable architectural plans.
Students learn a method for progressively developing architectural planning and design through the exercises. Simultaneously, the course aims to enhance numerous practical skills essential for the profession, including presentation abilities, research capabilities, contribution to group activities, and the refinement of individual design skills.
(Internship-related courses)
Goals and objectives
  1. 1. Students can acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for designing complex architecture through practical training.
  2. 2. Learn design methodologies that deeply consider the regional context as the framework for architectural planning.
  3. 3. Can identify an appropriate design concept regardless of the building's function or scale.
  4. 4. Through drawings, models, and computer modeling, one can express their design concepts in a compelling manner.
  5. 5. Be able to deliver effective presentations
