Studio 06
FUTURE ETHICS: ARCHITECTURE IN THE 21st CENTURY
Justyna Karakiewicz
Studio Description
Architecture is often initiated with a brief but, even then, in many instances it starts with a position. This studio therefore will not have brief.
Instead, students will be asked to define their own position related to the topic of the studio: “Future Ethics of Architecture”. The primary objective in this studio will be to expand our discourse and practice of architecture as informed by theory and a personal position of practice.
The ethics of architectural practice and of architectural outcomes are increasingly under scrutiny. Issues of clients, sites, materials, techniques and forms, but also of knowledge, demand close consideration.
Anticipating one challenge, this studio will result in a design proposition for a site. Using a research-framed approach and appropriate methods, students will demonstrate a solid understanding the role of the architect in our contemporary world and the challenges faced by the profession.
Students in this studio should have knowledge of parametric modelling, and some knowledge of ABM.
Schedule Mondays 09:00-12:00 and Thursdays 12:00-15:00
