BDES1028: Honours Intensive Studio 1

2024 unit information

In Honours Intensive Studio 1 students produce an architectural design project in response to a studio brief that critically engages with issues of contemporary concern to the city of Sydney. The specific architectural brief and its theoretical underpinnings vary from year to year. Students develop their project in a studio setting alongside their peers over the course of one week, impelled by a suite of lectures and seminars that address key themes of the project. They informally present their work in progress for critical feedback at various times during the week, and at its conclusion they present their final architectural proposition to a design jury, subsequently summarised in a portfolio.
