Studio Course believes that architecture and design have a direct, slow and lasting relationship with how we inhabit a space. In return, the space and atmosphere shape us. The practice has a course of thinking that gives them a story, guideline to communicate with different aspects of design in a certain manner or system; it sets a way in which their work should progress or develop and, in this process of making, lays the answers to deal with diverse situations.
The Brick Storeys is a housing project designed by the architectural firm Dhyey Chag Architects with an aim to look neat and timeless. The aesthetics of this residential building were aimed to look neat and timeless. The design was approached under a strict budget and the client aspirations. Landscape, materials and light became the guiding force to develop a spatial character. Exposed brick and RCC in the façade add to the timeless nature of the visual aesthetics.
Ciruelo 7, designed by Warm Architects, is a residence where the primary façade holds a beautiful view towards the street with ‘Katalox.’ The dense architectural program, the zoning of the area of the property, and the future colliding constructions permit a space of 7 x 9 x 9 meters with an interior configuration that prioritizes the quality of the experience within the spaces and the interior perspectives. The system assemblies the fabrication through the local carpenters that control the natural light’s accessibility and the privacy of the interior.
Meia Casa, designed by the architectural firm mf+arquitetos, is a residence with a space “to be” and “to receive.” The firm uses natural materials that are characteristic of our projects and integration with the interior and exterior is paramount for us. The boldness came from the entrance tunnel, which as we passed through it and arrived at being wanted to convey a sense of breath, of peace, a disconnection from busy life and at the same time an analogy to time, here and now, to the memories of the kitchen with the noisy water garden at the door and the desire to enjoy this moment: to sit, to eat and to have a good wine!
Centro, designed by Ten Arquitectos, is an extension of an educational center focusing on better equipped and specialized facilities. With space to receive more than 2,500 students, CENTRO’s new architectural program was integrated from volumes between laces, at whose intersection a floating structure is created that houses a media library and functions as a bridge between two of the complex’s buildings. In addition to the media library, the program consists of an auditorium with capacity for 360 people, administrative offices, workshops, classrooms, underground parking, a film forum and specialized areas of industrial design, editing and photography.
In this session of the workshop – Introduction to Computational Design, focused on learning to create a panel from a voronoi pattern using Grasshopper.
Ten Arquitectos is an architectural firm established by Enrique Norten with various cultural, residential, hotels & infrastructure projects. With offices in México City, New York and Miami the design work is always made with a global perspective and an international sensibility. This binational approach has attracted projects from different places of the world, including the Guggenheim Museum of Guadalajara, the New York Public Library, the National Theater School of México City and the Rutgers Business School.
In this session of the workshop – Introduction to Computational Design, focused on learning more about Grasshopper. The task focused on to create a pattern by scaling the geometries in ascending or descending order from a point or a curve. The method is called point attractor.
Evergreen School, designed by Caukin Studio, is an educational center that takes inspiration from the local vernacular. Working in partnership with the charity Mothers Of Africa (MoA), CAUKIN Studio spent 3 months in rural Zambia constructing 4 classrooms and a teacher’s office for Evergreen School. Each block of two classrooms is offset to create a layered facade adding interest and breaking up the masses.
In this session of the workshop – Introduction to Computational Design focused on getting familiar with the basic components and their functioning in Grasshopper.
Putthamonthon House, designed by the architectural firm Archimontage Design Fields Sophisticated, is a residence in the suburb of Bangkok. The design for this compatible structure must consider functional space as much as aesthetic quality of combining the requirement for building house and factory. This building is connected to the A-shape building by a big bedroom on the second floor above the veranda, which fully benefits from natural light and wind. The position of the bedroom also conforms to the traditional belief about stability..
Tresno, designed by the architectural firm Realrich Architecture Workshop, is a simple tropical house in Jakarta. It’s designed by the Geomancy principle creating 9 squares of the grid which forbids and allows some functions in the zoning. The landscape of “The Pucuk Merah trees” functions as barrier sunlight, and creating a microclimate in the periphery of the site providing microclimate. The learning curve of understanding the basic needs of grids, modules, and atrium functions are key aspects.
In this session of the workshop – Introduction to Computational Design focused on designing a furniture using Rhino. The participants were asked to try forms and details which otherwise would have been difficult if they were using any other software.
Monteblanco 26, designed by Warm Architects, is a residence that creates a space that creates a sensation of awe. An awe that is expressed in the walls and openings, in the cream and white toned facades, through the purity of nothingness that adorns it. The house is a singular block horizontally and vertically perforated various times to convey an appearance of the primary element that it constitutes, the leitmotif of the architecture’s composition: (the void, the aperture, the gap, the space, the slit, the perforation, the break) in the walls and roof, that is to say, the windows.
Warm Architects is a multidisciplinary firm focused on architecture and interior design and based in Cancun, Mexico.
Yaquero House, designed by the architectural firm La Erreria, takes advantage of the old structure to make a new duplex and a penthouse. The team started the project on the first floor, here the day area was designed as an open and flexible space. The rest was built using light, which aims to reach all parts of the house in order to create a friendly and welcoming space.
House of Flying Beds, designed by the architectural firm Al Borde, is a refurbishment with strategic changes to keep its heritage alive. In this house for all, the private space is reduced to the bed of each one of the members of the family. The project demands a new roof, so we take advantage of this action and solve the bedrooms too. A new upper bond beam connects the walls. Over it, eucalyptus trusses were installed each meter and fifty-five centimeters. Between each truss there is a bed, in total three pairs of habitable trusses were assembled.
Al Borde, an Ecuadorian architecture firm founded in 2007 by Pascual Gangotena, David Barragán, Marialuisa Borja and Esteban Benavides.
Tiwanon House, designed by the architectural firm Archimontage Design Fields Sophisticated, is a villa ready for truly living in Bangkok. Highlighted in the House, there are long distances before entering the House. To front yard will be seen from this area first. The House is divided into general usage areas on the ground floor, including a living room, high ceiling dining room that we can see in the garden court in the middle of the House, a working room, and a bedroom.
This workshop session – Introduction to Computational Design- introduced Rhino covering basic tools required for 3d modeling, followed by a demonstration.
Archimontage Design Fields Sophisticated is an architecture and interior design studio established by Mr. Cherngchai Riawruangsangkul. The practice focuses on seeking a new trial , as well as across disciplines to design a process that can produce but challenging, questioning and finding out the meaning of architecture.
Casa Dos Codogos, designed by the architectural firm mf+arquitetos, is a residence distinguished by the visual impact of proposed volumes. It cooperates functionally with details of comfort and efficiency of the house. In addition to influencing the volumetric conceptualization of the project, a cobogo-lined face marks the entry with double straight foot that includes the cantilevered mezzanine. The furniture with pieces of great national designs reinforces the purity of the straight lines present in the architecture.
Khaneye Hayatdar, designed by 4 Architecture Studio, is a residence with a brief of finding a home with the atmosphere of a childhood house. The pattern of the bricks was used as a way to enter the light without worrying about the privacy of the neighboring houses. Also, the window protectors became an element for facade design, which made the facade more dynamic and created a nice play and variation for the facade.
Althan Twin House, designed by the architectural firm studio ii, is a residence Placed on a narrow site with blank walls on both sides. The site is surrounded by dense neighborhood, this ‘Gala’ required that it can still breathe while remaining introvert. A thin sliver becomes an ‘outdoor’ place inside the house bringing in light, air and green. All major functions of the house expand into this sliver courtyard. The house becomes a study in how one can create space which expands internally despite of limited means and possibilities.
