This studio aims to teach a technically complex and analytics driven subject such as Environmental Design in a more hands-on, fun & intuitive way. This will hopefully allow the learning to become integral to the student's entire approach towards making buildings.
Through this process, the student will also learn how to collect and analyzing research data using various methods.
For example [1] Model making and study [2] Market surveys [3] Primary & Secondary Research [4] Qualitative data collection - Occupant interviews [5] Quantitative data collection - Instrument based logging [6] Testing of conceptual physical models [7] Final 1:1 installations [8] All of the above represented through a Final A3 Report
