Description
Design Futures Studio: City Lab is a studio-based subject engaging in experimental design projects at all architectural scales, selected for their opportunity to investigate pressing contemporary issues related to the occupation of the urban realm, environmental sustainability, emerging technologies, or other matters of sociocultural or disciplinary concern. Students will engage in an inclusive studio environment to develop solutions in team-based collaborative studio work. This subject asks students to explore the agency of architectural form, material, technique, technology, and meaning in a variety of scenarios.
Design proposals are expected to critically engage with a contemporary urban and architectural discourse through project work that exhibits detailed integration of design process work and conceptual endeavour. Projects will be explored through both manual and digital techniques, both collectively and on an individual basis. Output is focused on collaborative methods of craftsmanship in both 2D and 3D outcomes including the physical construction of models and/or large scale constructions for inhabitation utilising the Architecture Fabrication and Research Workshop.
