Project details

Programme

Year 1

The first project aims to challenge the conventional ideas about what Architecture is, and how we use and how we inhabit spaces. The project investigates how human body and domestic actions are set within a conceptual idea and spatial conditions. Personal habits that are linked to the student’s room/ habitat are used as a departure point for this investigation.

The students were asked to thoroughly document the chosen habit, and challenge its relationship to the habitat. We are all creatures of habit, and our habits are our comfort blanket. A lot of our actions, or habits are automatic, they are thoughtless acts: the way we use a space, how we occupy a room, use the furniture is not something we consciously think about. And in that lies a potential problem – we don’t seem to challenge our habits; we seem to simply accept them - being rebellious does seem like something we leave behind to enter our own personal space.

The brief posed a question — how do we use and interact with architecture? Through the lens of Health and Wellbeing, the students identified and responded to the brief— how does this newly-understood habit respond to a re-imaged habitat?
