Introduction The Design Studio 03 ARK450 is a fundamental study of relationships between ideas and architectural form and space, order and principles, visual perception, design elements, colour and lights. In this course students attend weekly lectures and studios where they have the opportunity to present and discuss work in development and completion. Principles are developed through assigned architectural design projects. It allows students to develop their ideas through experimentation with a wide range of media and opens pathways towards a variety of creative disciplines from graphic, sketches, mix-media art to architecture. The agenda introduce students to architectural design, critical thinking and experimental ways of working.
