Calendar Description: A structured investigation of architectural concepts; program interpretation with respect to relevant cultural, social and environmental contexts; applications of appropriate formal languages and building technologies in integrated proposals for a variety of building forms. Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) Student Performance Criteria (SPC): A1, A2, A4, A5, A6 Topic and themes: Matter(s) of building: Radical Adaptive Reuse and Climate Retrofit. The studio will critically consider the adaptive re-use of buildings and building materials. The inquiry begins with precedent studies and design theory lectures (A1) alongside the analysis, modeling, and virtual disassembling of an existing building. The studio will approach the design of a new/reconfigured building through a given material ecology derived from this exercise (A2). The objective of this novel design approach is to reduce the environmental impact through a radical adaptive reuse strategy utilizing salvaged materials from an existing building. Program is de-emphasized as an initial constraint and its prevalence as a design driver critically re-assessed (A4). The existing building’s technosphere and site (A5) are the primary drivers of its proposed reconfiguration and detailed design proposition for the final review. Coordination: Please note that to better coordinate and manage student workload, instructors will be expected to work closely with colleagues ahead of the semester to confirm scope, schedule, and assignments. Deadlines and tests will be finalized with the larger team and following conversations regarding resources and technical support. Studio coordinator: Prof. Michael Jemtrud Please note: This studio will be team taught which means that multiple instructors will be assigned to teach this course. Instructors may work with multiple different groups of students throughout the term. Description du calendrier : Une étude structurée des concepts architecturaux; interprétation du programme par rapport aux contextes culturels, sociaux et environnementaux pertinents; applications de langages formels et de technologies de construction appropriés dans des propositions intégrées pour une variété de formes de construction. Critères de performance des étudiants (SPC) du Conseil canadien de certification en architecture (CCCA) : A1, A2, A4, A5, A6 Thèmes : Sujet(s) de construction : Réutilisation adaptative radicale et rénovation climatique. L’atelier examinera de manière critique la réutilisation adaptative des bâtiments et des matériaux de construction. L’enquête débute par des études de précédents et des cours de théorie de la conception (A1), ainsi que par l’analyse, la modélisation et le démontage virtuel d’un bâtiment existant. L’atelier abordera la conception d’un bâtiment neuf ou reconfiguré à travers une écologie des matériaux donnée, issue de cet exercice (A2). L’objectif de cette approche de conception novatrice est de réduire l’impact environnemental grâce à une stratégie de réutilisation adaptative radicale utilisant des matériaux récupérés d’un bâtiment existant. Le programme est déconsidéré comme une contrainte initiale et sa prévalence comme moteur de conception est réévaluée de manière critique (A4). La technosphère du bâtiment existant et le site (A5) sont les principaux moteurs de sa reconfiguration proposée et de sa proposition de conception détaillée pour l'examen final. Coordination : Veuillez noter que pour mieux coordonner et gérer la charge de travail des étudiants, les enseignants devront collaborer étroitement avec leurs collègues en amont du semestre afin de confirmer le périmètre, le calendrier et les devoirs. Les échéances et les tests seront finalisés avec l'équipe élargie et suite aux discussions concernant les ressources et le support technique. Coordinateur du studio : Prof. Michael Jemtrud Attention : ce cours sera dispensé en équipe, ce qui signifie que plusieurs enseignants seront affectés à son enseignement. Les enseignants pourront travailler avec différents groupes d'étudiants tout au long du trimestre. Teaching Qualification Requirements: Appropriate technical, digital and/or critical, theoretical expertise required for the course; active in the profession.
