Studio 2 continues the spatial logic project from Studio 1, now applied to the domestic typology. Students commence AT1 with weekly charrettes, in teams of 3, experimenting with programmatic relationships of the home through the poche, points/lines/planes and organisational compositions (from precedent case studies). For AT2 + AT3, Students work individually on a real house typology in Sydney (Terrace/workers cottage, 1960s brick, Federation semi – each assigned a house across a nominated block) – performing Gordon Matta-Clark ‘incision decisions’ to rupture existing plan and hence household structure. Designing one renovation of alterations and additions. This allows the home to become flexible in response to the life-cycle of a chosen household brief – shared house, multi-generational or two household home.
NOTE: all options including considerations of ecologies specific to their Country. The final task asks for fences to be removed and shared infrastructure to be included in an ‘urban strategy’ that feeds their prior urban/site analysis.
