Through experimentation, project-based teaching and theoretical reflection, the course aims to provide basic orientation in the subject of architecture. The course examines the concepts of space, scale and body. Students will learn to develop methods to synthesize practical and theoretical knowledge. The course introduces the essential skills and tools, such as digital and analogue sketching, drawing and modelling. The course consists of both group-based and individually process-oriented project work discussed in the group. Briefings and critiques are essential parts of both the pedagogical approach and the examination.
