Research into Practice. This exercise will focus on the role of collaborative research and the relationship between collaborative research and the development of the architectural idea and project. Beginning with an idea, students will explore the realization of this idea in architectural form. Using the format of group work and the charrette process, students will undertake focused research on a topic and present design solutions which integrate research with application. Expectations: Students will be required to present the documentation of their work, which they undertook in Collaborative Exercise III, in an appropriate form and medium. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis.
