A21P1C Architecture Project 2:1 Structure, Place, Activity 16.0 credits

In this course, students design a complex building that includes a public use. It offers amethodicalintroduction to the use of the conceptsstructure(structural analysis and geometry, spatial structure),place(site analysis, relating to a place), andactivity(user analysis,operational organization), which help students develop a conscious working process. Students work through and develop their projects in at least three scales.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• analyse, demonstrate and describe how their own project affects the site and how the site affects the project
• analyse, demonstrate and describe which spaces and spatial relationships have been created in relation to activity
• demonstrate and describe the load-bearing and stabilising structure of their own project and how the climate protection works
• describe and discuss the architectural qualities of the project in relation to the brief
• analyse relevant references for the project and articulate their position in relation to these
• develop a basic understanding of digital tools through project work
• discuss how sustainability issues (environmental, social, economic) relate to the project work
• compile their project into a presentation that includes a reflection on the results and a selection of the working process

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.
