Summer Design Studio, open to both Undergraduates and Graduate Students, will introduce students of varying ability to the fundamental elements of architectural design through an initial series of dynamic design exercises of increasing scope and complexity that build upon one another over the span of the studio, and culminate in the design of an interactive University Exhibition Pavilion and Plaza for assembly and performance. The studio will initially explore fundamental architectural concepts through a sequence of spaces centered on assembly, interaction, communication, recreation, and memory, exploring the tectonic aspects of structural selection, material value and performative enclosure design. In this way, the studio will progress from a series of exercises grounded in the exploration of fundamental architectural concepts, to an understanding of how the combination of these spaces can produce new, dynamic and unexpected relationships between civic and individual spaces shaping culturally impactful spaces and experiences in the University environment.
