Studio 35


Hacking Design: Capitalising on Urban Left-Overs

Camilo Cruz & Fjalar de Haan

Studio Description

Studio35 will look at the possibilities that left-over spaces open for the development of urban infrastructure for positive change.

The studio relies on principles of evolutionary design and transitions studies to understand and address the dynamic character of urban spaces.

Studio35 has 5 assignments.

The site for the projects will be Melbourne's CBD.

Studio35 considers both individual and group work.

Studio Outcomes

Expected Learning Outcomes:

  • Participants will familiarise themselves with the requirements of the project, as well as with the relevant concepts of transitions and evolutionary design.
  • Participants will be introduced to design as a complex endeavour that is not only about the object being produced, it's practical and cultural implications, but also about how it fits into a larger system.
  • Participants will be introduced to practical skills in scripting for design, as a tool for the generation and exploration of design spaces. The development of these technical skills is optional but will be encouraged and supported.
