DS11: Guided by Dusan Decermic and Elantha Evans, the studio is conceived as a supportive, open-minded, self-reflexive and critical framework. By negotiating design ambitions at large geographical or urban scales and their implications as architecture and as inhabited spaces, projects carefully explore the relationships between abstracted urban-landscape genetics and unearth unexpected possibilities for material rendering of space. Relevant, sensitive, and emotive programmes are developed by each student in response to the contextual, socio-economic and political concerns exposed through careful study and reflection.
