Design Yearbook 2017

Studio 2 – Experimental Architecture
Rachel Armstrong & Andrew Ballantyne
Experimental Architecture prepares students for changing architectural ideas and emerging new technologies, relevant to a globally connected,
highly complex and constantly evolving world. By establishing a starting point from which established design tropes may be challenged, such
as the use of inert building materials, new opportunities, like the use of ‘living’ fabrics and technologies, may be explored by developing
prototypes that relate to an original building proposal. Students attending the course will therefore develop a set of architectural design
tools, graphical notations, and experimental studio practices that can not only be applied during their final year but also throughout their
professional development.
