This course provides an in-depth exploration of architectural design theory and methodology, mainly focused on the recognition of the potential need for certain architectural interventions in the frame of an architectural project that is required in the evaluated context. Following upon this, the course is mainly focused on the design aspects of contemporary non-residential facilities and facilities of public and community importance and the development of context-oriented interrelated fragmented project contents. Through the development of individual architectural projects, students will engage individually in a 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 the 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 for students to develop their projects throughout specified design phases under the supervision of academic staff during the 15 weeks of the 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 a weekly basis, and their individual progress will be supervised by academic staff in the frame of each design step/phase.
