Urban Tectonics 


Approaches and Objectives,
The studio started with research and analysis effort through a brief review of relevant discourse and an overview of both historic and contemporary conditions of the sites around Park Avenue. Following the initial overview, fact based investigations with focused research and analytic documentations instigated the individuated agendas of the design projects. In the design phase, students were asked to test and define project trajectories and potential strategies at specific zones along Park Avenue, articulating the rationales and impact at multiple scales, geographies, and time frames. The emphasis of the course was on the production of rigorously articulated architectural propositions that each engages the critical inquiry of the studio topic with a distinctive thesis.
