Assignments

The design studio is organized in a sequence of phases, each of which has its own assignment. The individual stages align with specific content and input but also support the development of the project by scaffolding the process. Each phase contributes to the overall aim of the design studio not just linear, but by looping back and forth between them. For the assignments, this means even though they are graded, making up the final mark, they are mere stepping stones and not the only product in themselves. Primarily they are to be viewed as progress assessment [Standortbestimmung], allowing for reflection.
