Design Studio - Independent Study

Classes are organised as "vertical studios" where international students meet local students of all years of study and work together. Principles of architectural design are studied and practised on a wide range of building structures: new developments as well as urban renewal and reconstruction. Studios at this level are enriched by studios focusing on topics such as sustainable design, contemporary technologies, interior architecture and preservation. Students are offered a choice of semester assignments either for individual or group elaboration. For the Independent Study Studio, it is possible to process assignments from any of the authorised specialisations acknowledged by the Chamber of Architects: architecture, urbanism and spatial planning or landscape architecture.
