ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 1 introduces students to iterative processes of making and critical reflection in order to learn to formulate and test architectural design ideas. Students develop a series of 3 spatial models explore geometric, spatial and formal design qualities and principles as well as transition and journey.
- Plaster cast – Taken from measured drawing of their bedroom and abstracted at a scale of 1:20
- Acrylic – Use of 90 degree planes to create a form and space that provides a journey through it at a scale of 1:100
- Metal – Use of angles and triangles to create a form and space that provides a journey through it at a scale of 1:100
In their final 5-12 week project they collaborate in pairs to create two terrains to house two of their original acrylic and metal model structures. They must work collaboratively as a class to integrate their terrains as a whole.
This subject is equivalent to first year Design studio at Monash University. Students who achieve a 65% average or over are eligible to transfer into the Monash university Architecture, first year, semester 2.
