A52DH5 Studio Project 5, Technology and Theory 12.0 credits

The teaching is studio-based and situated within the Division of Architecture, Technology and Theory, reflecting its thematic orientation. Specific course assignments, themes, design criteria, and deliverables for Studio Projects will be revised and settled before every academic year by the examiner. Studio Projects include both individual work and teamwork, following the planning and course assignments decided by the examiner.

The overall purpose of the studio projects is to cater for the individual's deepening and individual progression of knowledge, skills and approaches within architecture and related areas of knowledge. During architectural education at advanced level / within the master's program in architecture, the individual student completes six studio projects for this purpose. Each studio project gives the student the opportunity to test and develop skills in varied areas of application and is supported to reflect on their learning.

After the course the student should be able to

• Implement and assess qualified architectural assignments critically, creatively and independently in a way a progression of knowledge and understanding, skills and ability, analytical skills and ways of approaching the subject, and architectural qualities can be shown, in relation to previously completed projects during the architectural education.
• Present, visualize and discuss the complete project from a relevant discourse and a broad architectural context, with applicable representational techniques.
• When assigned, show the ability to work in teams and collaborate in groups with different compositions. 
• Present an independent working process and be able to reflect on the personal learning.
• Continuously document process and results, and when requested make available completed course submissions in a digital portfolio on the designated platform.
• Critically reflect on your own research and project from a sustainability perspective.
• Clearly show a progression of knowledge and skills. The rate and scope of progression depends on the number of projects on the advanced level the student has completed. At the start of the course these projects should be presented in a portfolio for the studio teacher who will assess it.

A student must have completed compulsory courses from one academic year at the Master´s programme in Architecture or the Advanced Level of the KTH Degree Programme in Architecture, or equivalent (60hp).
