life, in combination with a visit to the real site. Topics of research are defined and
extensive information about timing, expected results, models and presentations is
given to them.
The first phase of the exercise requires students to research topics significant
within the context of the exercise: transitions between public and private, how to
deal with inclined sites and how to integrate a mixed programme in an urban context
and scenery.
Following this phase students develop individual proposals, which are presented
to a jury in presence of a small group of other students to generate an extended
dialogue.
The third phase of the project focuses on technical elaboration regarding the
materialisation of the projects. Hereby students are required to focus on specific
elements to elaborate upon. Finally, correct results are reintroduced in the different
projects as a necessary feed-back towards the students. This technical elaboration
must be further developed in the next exercise.
