About this course
You develop design skills through analysis of existing buildings and by solving realistic architectural problems in a Danish context. In studio projects, construct spatial models in physical and digital media and advance your communication skills in expressing abstract concepts. Studios are taught vertically, combining students of different levels. Expectations relate to you as an individual student.
Syllabus
Pre-requisites

Additional portfolio work required
Examples of studio work in a portfolio must be submitted to your studio instructor at the beginning of the semester. This will allow your instructor to become acquainted with your design skills and better tailor their teaching.
