Requirements
Housing Design Professional Course is an advanced design course dealing with contemporary topics of dwelling. Independent work on exercise project. Lectures, seminars/studio meetings, critique session.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
Learning outcomes
After the course the student is able to analyze new housing solutions and different forms of special housing. The student is able to interpret building regulations and background phenomena concerning housing design and can adapt them in a practical planning task. The student can solve in an architecturally and functionally satisfactory way a rather difficult housing design task which is related to the developing of new housing solutions and typologies. During the course the student is to learn to develop his personal design approach. After the course the student is able to discuss the principals of socially and ethically responsible housing design as well as the principles of sustainable building, and can adapt them in his own design work.
