In a world of climate change and biodiversity loss, the built environment still causes 40% of the planet’s overall energy consumption, CO2 emissions and landfills. With the urgent need to renew architecture practice, new strategies have emerged in the last decade that redefine the roll of the architect in general. The studio will critically engage in the current research and debate to instigate an innovative and sustainable architecture response to these challenges. Our focus will be to explore the spatial poetics of climate and redefine the building in the context of an urban ecosystem.
We primarily seek to examine the relationship between architectural design and environmental performance in order to provide knowledge, tools and methods for students to rethink existing paradigms, and to develop individual design strategies for a sustainable built environment.
During the autumn term we will write a manifesto on architecture for contemporary living, while also designing a net zero cluster. The proposals will be exhibited in May 2014 at the exhibition “Future Land” at Arbetets Museum in Norrköping and we will visit the Weissenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart, an important reference for times of change in architectural history.
In the spring term we want to focus on urban (and object) transformation by developing a re-use project. The project raises the question of how existing architecture and urban areas can be transformed to meet the sustainable demands of today and to be ready to adapt those of the future.
