Course General Description
While architecture creates the setting for ways of life, ways of life also make their mark on architecture. This is a mutual, yet complex relationship, by which the novice student is often unconsciously stimulated. In the encounter with architecture, this phenomenological experience must be qualified and cultivated conceptually, and made operational in forward-looking production. In order to fabricate sustainable architecture, which promotes the best living conditions, one must constantly study, dissect, reconstruct and optimise its many components and forms of expression: its anatomy.Tuition Fees
