| Course Objectives: | The research based ARC2002 studio aims to explore housing as the main theme within the context of a settlement focusing on emerging problems of housing, social sustainability and inclusivity, keeping groups with vulnerabilities and specific housing challenges in mind. |
Learning Outcomes
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; The students who complete this course, will be able to: (1) gather, assess, record, apply, and comparatively evaluate relevant information particular to housing, precedents and user groups. (2) understand the architect’s responsibility to work in the public interest, for social sustainability and inclusivity. (3) think critically of existing housing systems and propose alternative living environments. (4) make decisions related to site selection and survey of the place, to discover the characteristics of the place. (5) find out the relations, problems and potentials of the place and develop design assessment criteria (6) develop a scenario and architectural program for housing for users and their socio-spatial requirements (7) represent the work using different methods like sketches, diagrams, collages, drawings, video, models and digital modelling, etc. (8) produce a comprehensive architectural project that demonstrates each student’s capacity to make design decisions across scales. |
Course Content
| ARC2002 studio starts with developing a critique of our existing housing environments. Both the basic right to appropriate housing and evolving needs of communities needs to be addressed. A community-led and administered living ensuring inclusivity, equity through bottom-up solutions born out of the locality of places and communities is envisioned. Students can decide to either work on one of the sites offered by the studio or propose one of their own relevant in size, scale and qualities like diversity of local-mix in socio-economics and multiculturalism. Students provide necessary documentation, maps, and research on the context of the site and administer their site survey, analysis and research according to their earlier experiences in ARC2001. Students define the theme, scenario, mix, weighting and architectural program of the housing proposal for the characteristics of their selected sites. Relation to the existing built environment, configuration of spaces, structure, technology and form are all issues to be considered in relation to the design process. |
