Synopsis:

Studio work is the subject of an application in which students are combining the lessons learned from a wide spectrum of architectural disciplines with their own opinion and artistic creativity. In this third design studio students deal with various types of civil buildings with more complicated service and ambitious operation site with more complicated relationships. After a broad discussion, reflection and assessments of structures built on similar topics, students submit their own proposals in the form of architectural study. Foreign and Czech students are taught together in order to get an opportunity to debate architectonic issues.

Requirements:

Mandatory and active participation in classes, maximum 3 excused absences

Submitting the work in the form of a prescribed report

Submission of work on time.
