A11P2B Architecture Project 1:2 Landscapes, Structures, Movements 9.0 credits

This project problematizes the interplay between landscape and the built environment, and the relationships between landscape and scale, movement, and physical structures. In designing a small building/structure, students explore the landscape’s construction, organization, and material attributes, as well as how the landscape informs and can influence the design of buildings and places. What characterizes movements in architecture as opposed to movements in landscapes? Students address issues of circulation in relation to accessibility, and going into and out of systems of circulation through a place in the landscape or in architecture. As part of the assignment, students must account for the small building’s construction as well as the topography’s construction, attributes, climate, and accessibility. Dimensioning and site measurement techniques for landscapes and buildings form a central analysis tool for the project.

The project is divided into two parts.

Arkitecture project 1:1 (A11P1B) must be approved or assessed to be approved after completion.

To be announced at course start.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• APRO - Architecture project, 9.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

General:

Learning outcome objectives are tested in design projects throughout the entireundergraduateprogram through students’ presentation of their process and results in assignments specified at the start of each course. To pass a course, students must also complete all assignments and have at least an 80% attendance at lectures, seminars, teaching opportunities, and assignment reviews.

Whether each student has fulfilled the learning objectives is determined by the examiner in conference with other faculty. They evaluate the student’s performance based on the following three parameters:

1.  The student’s working process, project development, and questioning, and his or her documentation of these.

2.  The student’s ability and skill to satisfactorily use and handle relevant representational forms and techniques and other design tools based on lectures, assignments, and learning objectives.

3.  The student’s final presentation, the project’s qualities and possibilities, based on the student’s architectural and artistic exploration.

4. A reflection on the individual learning process must be handed in.

The project must be conducted within the given time frame of the course.

Special regulations for completion apply. The rules for completion can be found on the programme web.
