Mars Probe crashes and burns in Koln

An intertwining set of themes will run throughout this studio, and we will explore a critical and creative dialogue between abstraction and situation, technique and tactility and between the analogue and the digital. Starting with detailed analysis and representation of two buildings by Utzon and Lewerentz you will be expected to evolve a design position through direct experience and inquisitive intuition; through a critical imagination and tactile experimentation. During the second half of the year we envisage a plurality of thesis projects that creatively explore the boundaries between nature and artifice; the creation of situated architectures that respond to human ecology, not just functionally, but poetically.
