Heritage and Architecture Design Studio Architectonic Design

The Heritage en Architecture MSc1 studio focusses on a architectural design for the re-use of a building or building-ensemble, to meet requirements of contemporary and future use.

A transformation framework will be made by the interpretation of the analysis of the urban context, the building and the program requirements. Various aspects of designing in existing built structures are investigated by studying reference projects and literature.

By working on different scale-levels a coherent design will be made. At atelier meetings different aspects like relation existing- new, urban context, re-use and sustainability, functionality, spatial quality, technical aspects, material aspects will be discussed.

The current debate of transformation and intervention with topics like authenticity, sustainability, layers of history, and so on is very present during this course on every single scale.

Different presentations will help students to develop their presentation skills.

There is a strong relation between the HenA Architectural design studio and the Building Engineering studio.
