Design Studio 2 builds upon the foundations covered in Studio 1, adding the application and integration of materials and building systems, and sustainable technologies as design parameters. Emphasis is placed both on the experience of macro and micro environments within the interior and on the use of metrics for assessing the performance of projected design proposals. The ability for the interior to include a range of spaces, at times public and private in their adjacency, becomes the focus for this studio. Typically, a domestic environment is the focus of the studio. Assignments build on the critical theoretical and programming skills developed in the concurrent Theory of the Interior and Forms of Programming courses.
