课程特征 Course Features:
The course has developed a distinctive identity that reflects the fact that we are part of an 'arts school' tradition rather than allied to an architectural school. We have a significant international reputation as a culturally diverse course that fosters experimentation, and questions disciplinary boundaries and conventional definitions of what constitutes spatial practice.
The course is committed to the notion of 'space-making' as a design activity that is distinct from architecture. It addresses issues of how we inhabit space, and develops sensibilities towards the intervening into existing architectural structures or situations.
课程内容 Course Content :
The course follows an outline of three main phases:
Phase 1: Analysis of Practice and Exploration of Methodologies
Phase 2: Development and Consolidation
Phase 3: Resolution
These phases are set within a credit framework of three assessed units: Studio Practice, Advanced Studio Practice (which run sequentially), and Theoretical Studies, running throughout the course.
Studio Practice involves evolving and developing a personal programme of studio work and related research. Theoretical Studies provides a framework for you to develop a critical research paper, enabling you to locate your ideas and practice in relation to contemporary debate on cultural and theoretical issues.
