The second year Design project-line is aimed at expanding students' basic knowledge and skills of architectural and urban design. The first project focusses on technical elaboration within a range of scales from 1:500 to 1:1. The project is divided into 4 parts: structure, form, components and synthesis. The students perform research, analysing the site, the program, a reference project and they will study relevant literature. In workshops the students will make and explore research models; the design part structures the given design brief, placing it on a small plot, exploring form and the making of space by thinking of the character of the chosen material and construction method. The themes of seasonality and the notion of time passing over a period of seven years will will stimulate thinking in terms of the physical weathering and transformation of materials and structures.
