Based on the forthcoming issue of MIT Architecture's peer-reviewed journal, Thresholds 42: Human. This design workshop will reposition and develop new design strategies for what it means to be "human" within the contemporary and future built environment.
This workshop is primarily geared for those with architecture, art, or design backgrounds—however all are welcome.
Students should bring a laptop to all sessions (session schedule coming soon).
The workshop will be a condensed two week process. The first week will be focused on introducing topics, formulating research interests, and discussion/development of design theories. The second week will be used to investigate how the findings of the first week could influence design practice (thereby reshaping built form at a variety of scales) through a fast-paced, iterative design process.
Official class periods will primarily be dedicated to informal discussion and presentation. Additional time outside of class will be necessary for reading, design research, and individual (or group) design work.
Design projects executed during this workshop may have the opportunity for exhibition.
