Description

Architectural Design V - Societally Responsive Housing Design

This course focuses on current housing related societal phenomena including for example the implications of designing for an ageing population and for increased cultural diversity and ways of living together. The course primarily consists of a design task, in which students are expected to develop, argue and present a design project in accordance to a specific design task assignment. The specific topic as well as the approach to it will vary. Additionally, the course will include a small research based task, which supports the main design task and can be for example a written critical analysis of an existing housing project. The lectures given on the course support the completion of the course assignments, in addition to which the students are expected to conduct their own investigation on the topic to further their understanding. Innovative, imaginative and open-minded approaches towards the design task are encouraged. However, the proposed solutions should be realistic and of high spatial and architectural (artistic) quality, and sufficiently justified.
