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

The project examines the interplay between landscape and the built environment and its relationship to scale, movement, and physical structure. Through the design of a small building or structure, the project explores the landscape’s composition, organization, and material properties, as well as how these inform and can influence the design of buildings and places. What characterizes movement in architecture relative to movement in the landscape, that is, questions of circulation in relation to accessibility; entering and exiting systems of movement on-site, in the landscape, and in architecture. The assignment involves taking into account the building’s construction as well as the topography’s structure and characteristics, climate, and accessibility. A central analytical tool in the project will be measurement and surveying in relation to the landscape and the building.

After competing the course, the student should be able to:

• develop, design, and present a proposal for an architectural solution
• describe their project through drawings
• examine the concepts of landscape, structure, and movement in relation to their own work
• understand and apply the introduced concepts to describe and discuss architectural qualities
• compile their work into a presentation and reflect on their results and work process

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

• 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.

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

General:

The examiner, in consultation with the other course instructors, assesses how well the student meets the learning objectives based on the following four components:

1. Work process, project development, research questions, and documentation of these.

2. Ability and skill in using and handling relevant representations, techniques, and other design tools based on lectures, assignments, and learning objectives.

3. Final submission: the project’s qualities, its architectural and artistic exploration.

4. Reflection on one’s own learning.

The project must be completed within the course’s specified timeframe.

To receive a passing grade, students must also complete all assignments and maintain 80% attendance at lectures, seminars, tutorials, and reviews.

Course module supplementation means that a student who has received a grade of F and is deemed to be close to meeting the requirements for a passing grade of P may be given the opportunity to complete supplementary work to achieve a passing grade. The course examiner decides whether supplementation is possible.

The supplementary assignment is designed based on the learning objectives the student has not achieved. The student shall be given 15 working days to complete the supplementary work. After that, supplementary work may not be done, in accordance with KTH’s guidelines on course syllabi, grading systems, and examination.
