The Comprehensive Guide to Building Typologies delves into the essential principles and concepts that define architectural design. Participants will explore various typologies, understanding their historical contexts, functional requirements, and aesthetic implications. The course emphasizes hands-on projects that allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios, fostering a deeper comprehension of how typological choices influence both form and function in architecture.
Through a series of interactive modules, learners will engage in collaborative exercises and individual projects, culminating in a final project that showcases their understanding of building typologies. The course encourages participants to publish their findings and designs in the Cademix Magazine, providing an opportunity to share insights with a broader audience. This program not only enhances design skills but also equips participants with the ability to critically analyze and innovate within the field of architecture.
