Introductory Design Studio

The Introductory Design Studio addresses social and political topics by introducing a specific program and site, while also introducing students to cutting edge design methodologies such as working with sheet material in an innovative way. This year's program addresses gender diversity and social status in the framework of a public bath facility at a beachfront, which serves different users. The studio's ambition is to formulate a heterogeneous discourse around these topics. Throughout reading sessions, visual study workshops, and joint studio section digital pin-ups the studio sets up rigorous discussions and conversations about the various approaches students take on.
