| Course Objectives | Throughout this semester, you will embark on a transformative journey to think and design like an architect. This means moving beyond passive acceptance of our environmental conditions and developing a heightened sensitivity to the dynamic relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and skills to create environments that not only fulfill physical requirements but also nourish the emotional needs of their occupants. |

| Course Description | In this semester's studio, we will immerse ourselves in the captivating theme of "HABITATION." As architects, our primary task goes beyond mere construction; it involves crafting meaningful and immersive "places" that resonate with the human experience. Habitation, as defined by the dictionary, delves into how humans inhabit and interact with the world around us. It's a crucial concept because it encompasses all our senses and emotions. |
