Before the design project, to understand the subject we did this exercise. Making a research on the selected topics is expected also using concepts with related architectural examples concerning the problem of housing/dwelling and generate the resultant form and define its relation with the surrounding environment. The objective of this study is to create a consciousness on the level of architectural program, urban space and architecture in urban context.
Then, we focus on issues such as:
- Response of architecture t its environment,
- Architect’s approach to program, how does the architect organize the program?
- How does the architect incorporate external dynamics (environmental conditions / site forces /landscape) and internal dynamics (architectural program, organization of the interior spaces)?
Also before this exercise we read these articles;
