Teaching

You will spend most of your time in our studios. This is where design tutorials, groupwork, and project reviews take place.

Studio design projects are your opportunity to test and explore the knowledge gained through taught courses in the context of real design problems set by registered architects.

As projects increase in complexity, you will integrate structure, construction, and environmental strategies as part of the design process.

  • presentation of studio design projects
