Deep Surface

Deep Surface is the first design studio exposure for sophomore students that decide to major in architecture. Within less than ten weeks, students learn basic digital and analog design techniques, familiarize themselves with the studio culture and develop a complex understanding of processes and concepts of architecture and resulting in a first independent project. Architecture is explored as open system of temporal and spatial relationships. Students manipulate surface understood as thick matter to produce a landscape proposal. The site is a nondescript Ohian arcadia. 

In second term students apply strategies discovered earlier onto small scale architectural interventions. The site is the All American local strip aka High St. The program is a gallery.
