The First Year Programme endeavours to introduce to the student the fundamental skills necessary to engage in their architectural education. This challenge requires a balance between objective tasks such as the reading and representation of ideas via drawings and other media, developed as a new language, and the instilling of a mindset where research synthesis feeds the students’ interpretative faculties in their exploration of the year’s thematic concerns: Light, Space and Form. In order to nurture haptic representational and exploratory capabilities, students were encouraged to learn, practise and conduct hand-drawing and physical model-making as a necessary means to immerse themselves in the design process. A number of dedicated Studio Workshops ran in parallel to studio tutorials to support this ambition.
