Bachelor of Architecture & Built Environments Architecture Studio units focus on the development and refinement of conceptual, analytical and technical skills through applied problem-based learning in a diverse range of real-world contexts. In first year, Studios focus on establishing foundational design knowledge and competencies. This unit is part of a suite of four units in the degree core of B.ABE and the Spatial Design practice specialisation in the Bachelor of Design.

Architecture Studio: Space focuses on the development of foundational knowledge and skills related to the adaptation of urban environments. Through processing historical and contemporary precedents, you will develop an understanding of architectural elements and principles of space and relation. A series of exercises introduce you to abstract, conceptual approaches to design, and guide you through operations that explore lived space. You will be introduced to frameworks for understanding the physical and social structures of cities and the implications for design and develop critical skills in observation and analysis of urban environments. Employing a variety of related conceptual design and communication techniques, you will explore generative approaches to urban intervention that connect the macro city context to the micro design of public interiors and urban spaces.
