RESEARCH & PROPOSITIONS
The design studio explores how architecture has been shaped by the forces of the city, and that architecture could play a role in the future transformation of the city through chosen site under the framework on Geography, Landscape and infrastructure. Students were asked to come up with design propositions and intervention to existing urban context by concept of ‘Bridge’. How will you ‘bridge’ between place ‘A’ & place ‘B’? What are the relationships between geography, landscape, and infrastructure? How your architectural intervention engages with geography, landscape, and infrastructure?
