Aim
The aim of this Master class studio work on Rethinking Housing is to advance and to deepen the insight into residential and housing architectural design. The course is building upon the basic housing course of the second year. The focus is put on conceptual rethinking of contemporary housing architecture that will be applied to a limited project set in Göteborg and/or in another country. Close cooperation is established with local housing companies like HSB, AB Framtiden, SABO and the city planning offices in order to develop a joint climate of experimental invention in a search for new relevant architectural qualities of residence. The studio is part of an established Nordic-Baltic research network dedicated to the issues of residential spaces and home cultures open for occasions of international exchange.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- apply widened insights on experimental and innovative best practices in the European context to future housing designs in order to foster innovation
- to perform advanced architectural analysis on housing situations and to produce adequate solutions to emerging new potential future demands on the housing market
Content
The studio work will start with lectures and seminars on the social history of housing, new theoretical approaches and examples of best practices within a widened international scope. Site analysis will follow this phase and different angles of approach to confronted problems are addressed through a series of sketching exercises using tools dedicated to housing design. Model work is considered of crucial importance. A minor study trip will also be organized.
