Description:

Classes are organised as "vertical studios" where international students meet local students of all years of study and work together. Principles of architectural design are studied and practised on a wide range of building structures: new developments as well as urban renewal and reconstruction. Studios at this level are enriched by studios focusing on topics such as sustainable design, contemporary technologies, interior architecture and preservation. Students are offered a choice of semester assignments either for individual or group elaboration.
Studio assignments in all Erasmus+ courses require continuous participation in tutorials and presentations. All details of the semester and the submission are specified in the assignment of the studio work. Criteria for assessment are: to participate in consultations and presentations, to demonstrate the knowledge gained and to achieve the ability to apply them in the sphere of architectural design, from conception through own proposal to its presentation, including written and verbal expression.
