This course provides an in-depth exploration of architectural design theory and methodology mainly focused on the contemporary dwelling challenges in the case of multifamily/collective housing. Through the development of individual architectural projects students will engage individually in comprehensive design process, starting from context readings and site analysis phase (understanding and interpreting the physical, social and environmental aspects of the potential locations for a project, narrowing down the site for project etc.), to the development of a project content
based on the users' needs and relevant aspirations. Emphasis will be placed on design consistency and the interrelation between various design phases, ensuring a cohesive and well-integrated architectural project. Students will engage in continuous research that is based on the study of referent architectural examples throughout the semester while developing their individual projects. It is mandatory aspect for students to develop their projects throughout specified design phases under the supervision of academic staff during the 15 weeks of teaching process. In accordance with the dynamic nature of the design process and the variety of students
dedication and obtained skills, it is expected that students will be individually
progressing differently through the defined design phases on weekly basis, and their individual progress will be supervised by academic staff in the frame of each design step/phase.
