Design studios are organised on vertical principle, i.e. students of different grades and levels join the same studio. Students work individually on the assigned design project under methodical surveillance and regular consultations provided by studio leader and other tutors and experts of the studio. Students are also expected to work actively in finding respective data, seeking additional consultations, making surveys, etc. The course consists of lectures, desk crits, pin ups. The focus is on a development of an individual design process of each student.
Models are the main design tools.
Topics are connected to industrial companies. They range from clearly productional types of buildings to technical administrative, exhibition, etc. Part of the studies is aimed to the conversions of the former industrial buildings to new uses like museums, archives, pavillions, dapositaries, etc. The scale of design varies from detailed and interior designs to urban designs. The studio starts with proposals of different themes.
