The Architectures of Interdisciplinarity Design Studio seeks a holistic synthesis of technological investigation and design, using projective and case-based learning to research the socio-technological implications of design strategies. Emphasis is placed on developing methodologies for testing projected proposals and for evaluating the relative value of quantitative and qualitative modelling. The second semester of the studio will give an understanding of interdisciplinary collaboration supported by tools for design and analysis. A main design task based on the current studio theme will be developed with interdisciplinary support.
