Spaces within public institutions and urban contexts are designed through the standardized logic of the public but are produced and lived through several subjective experiences which often blur, defy, and occupy them in awkward ways. The preceding studio, titled 'Localisations' attempted to rethink local programmes that have emerged from public activities in the context of smaller neighborhoods and their affordances that critically crafted the space and the built-form. 

 

This course continued the previous design to further articulate detailed development stages for the built form through the technical resolution of structural systems, material performance, and experience, threshold-enclosure details, and process of construction. Further, it allowed us to bridge the gap between the design from concept to actualization and generate a construction documentation set along with specifications, quantities, estimation, and putting together different materials and their assemblies in a manner that is conceptually coherent with the overall idea of the building.
