Course detail

Architectural Design Studio I.

FAST-AG31Acad. year: 2011/2012

The Architectonic Design Studio is the most essential means of teaching architecture. The tuition is based on acquiring knowledge and skills by means of direct experience with architectonic design proceeding step by step from elementary subjects to complicated and sophistically operated complexes of buildings. Methodology lies in passing the tutor´s experience onto a student through a dialogue over an unfinished work. It develops creative thinking and professional habits indispensable to practising an artistic and technical job. The student may take his/her own choice of both kind of design development document and a teacher.
The Residential Buildings Studio is focused on the family and multidwelling houses, temporary accommodation, urban polyfunctional buildings and, as well, special forms of living. The studio is attended by all students.

Course curriculum

The subjects of architectonic design for the respective semester are announced to the students sufficiently ahead of schedule. Having chosen the design development brief and the teacher, students join the chosen studios. In terms of time, the semester is divided into three parts, specified by carrying out critique discussions over an unfinished and, later on, completed design. The critiques are, as a rule, carried out in the 5th and 10th week of a semester, the last one being after the end of semester and after handing-in the studio work. The purpose of the critiques is both checking up the previously set procedure and exchanging the views of approaches to the treated subject on the parts of teachers and all involved students. Thus, the critique becomes an integral part of tuition. A student presenting his work learns, at the same time, to defend his work before the public.
The design is evaluated in each of the three parts of a semester according to ECTS scale. The sum total stands for the final assessment of a studio work.
