Synthesis course 3: Preparatory Architecture and Urban Design Project for Master's Thesis

  • Number of credits 20 credits

About the course

The course focuses on preparatory studies and design research in preparation for an extensive application during the degree project.

Alongside exploring history, theory and technology in seminar courses 3a and 3b, students define their design and professional ambitions in preparation for further exploration and application in the degree project. This means describing social, material, environmental and technical challenges with a particular emphasis on defining one's point of departure as a future professional practitioner.

During the remainder of the course, the focus is on the design of architectural aspects, elements, or fragments as a preliminary study for the degree project. The emphasis of the course is on design research. 

The course is studio-based. The course teachers adjust and determine specific course information, themes, design requirements, and submission requirements for the academic year.
