The fundamental method of teaching is the design studio which accentuates the long-term individual work of students. The course is based on the method “teaching by doing”, i.e. gaining of knowledge and skills when applying them in the practice. The significant part of the course is the presentation of the design at the design critiques, consultations and critical discussion with the supervisor and other specialists. Depending on the topic, the complementary methods could be field trips or workshops. It is admissible to work on the design studio project in groups.

To complete the course successfully, students must submit a completed studio project in time. The required content and extent of the studio project reflects the assigned topic and is defined by the work supervisor at the beginning of the semester.

The grading scale is given in Article 14 of the Study and Examination Rules of BUT. The recommended grading scale is the following:

– D: skillfully designed and technically correct project with partial deficiencies
– E: sufficiently developed project, with all assigned tasks completed, and complies with the legal requirements (standards)

The supervisor is authorised to ask the students to study parallel or prerequisite selective courses.
