The built environment is an intricate mosaic in which a multitude of systems are brought together in a complex manner to produce 'meanings'. This studio, in its emphasis, was designed to ignite among the students, a critical discourse on the production of architecture as an artefact through the questions of resources and the processes of construction. The studio exercises enabled students to investigate, analyse and extract 'values' embedded in built forms and understand processes of construction, crafting, assembly and amalgamation, informing their design projects in expressing architectural thought as a coherent whole, from macroscopic context (structure) to microscopic detail (construct).
