ARC4261: Architecture Design Studio VI

Fourth-year studios have been designed to target urban and pre-urban issues and topics to introduce the students to the reciprocal relationships between buildings and surrounding areas in terms of influenced-influencer to bring into attention the specific character and sense of place. This interaction between the architectural elements and the context needs analytical processes based on multi-decision makers importantly inhabitants. In this perspective, the studio focuses on the urban space-public space concept to bring life into the city through integration between infilled and unfilled design solutions. The second semester is oriented toward multidiscipline and authorities' effectiveness in the public space and public activities. For this objective, bringing an idea into Rwanda's context with respect to the social, economic, and environmental conditions will lead the students to proper design activities in the studio.
