with additional topics of urban chance and the public good. Students worked in groups to research these issues and develop their preliminary design decisions. The group work triggered discussions and helped us on the processes of site selection and conceptual framework thus creating the base for each of the proposals. At their third year in architectural
education, students are expected to ask original questions and develop inquiries on both urban and everyday life scales and also to produce original outcomes from them. So, the studio focused on design research to be conducted with a wide variety of design tools and the final architectural submissions were expected to be elaborate in both urban arguments and detail/material composition.
