Outline and Purpose of the Course This is a design exercise in which students work on three small assignments given by three guest architects under the guidance of teachers who are involved in architectural design practice. Based on the basic knowledge of architectural design acquired through undergraduate education, students learn more advanced academic and theoretical methods of architectural design through practical involvement in specific projects. You will be taught how to compile architectural plans into practical design drawings, how to relate these to structural design drawings and M&E design drawings, and how to produce detailed design drawings. In particular, students will be taught how to communicate and present their work in English, as the subject matter of the course will be international in scope.
Course Goals The aim of this course is to develop practical skills in architectural design and to synthesise practical knowledge. Organise and systematise the experience gained through the internship and aim to acquire more advanced architectural design methods. To develop the ability to express a message to society through architecture in a practical way.
