BULDING CULTURE

|34 ASSIGNMENTS

The design studio is organized in a sequence of phases each which has its own assignment. The individual stages align with specific content and input but also support the development of the project by scaffolding the process. Each phase contributes to the overall aim of the design studio not just linear, but by looping back and forth between them. For the assignments, this means even though they are graded, they are mere stepping stones and not only product in themselves. Primarily they can be viewed as progress assessment [Standortbestimmung].
