Studio 7
Desire II
Gumji Kang
Studio Description
DESIRE II : Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be! Can architecture create places where desire can recognise itself, where it can live forever? Studio Desire II explores the idea of desire as conscious design process and invites the students to investigate the motivation, the execution and the psyche behind it in the context of living/dwelling. During the early phase of the studio, each student will be asked to choose an action, or an outcome, or an attribute under their chosen desire, that they wish to speculate and experiment with. ultimately the students will be asked to come up with a reactive Student Housing model that embodies and negotiates with the idiosyncratic desires.
