    I was assisting the first year Studio director Guillaume Othenin-Girard. I participated in the weekly critics discussing the project with him and the students. I supervised the work of the students during the autumn and spring semester.

 

    Architecture projects towards the future, envisioning environments, places for interaction, spaces. These are not a product of immediate creation, but rather the result of a process where the tools of architectural production are critical.

 

    The first semester focusses on this field between the actuality of making and the process of imagination. 

Architecture is about what we would like the world to be. The second semester provides a laboratory condition, a vertical matrix, where students expand on former experiences in the form of a semester-longproject, charting architectural process to develop their project, guided by the notions of programme and function.
