Design Studio 4 (5th year, semester core subject), taught at the School of Architecture of the Universitat Politècnica de València.
This teaching unit focused on ‘Systematic Architecture’, or on the understanding of the architectural project as a mechanism for formal construction. Designs were developed through organizational patterns determined by their materials and constructive decisions. Growth, flexibility, combinatorics, relational program, aggregation, modular order … were, among others, the terms that could describe the type of building that was to be studied and learned, the so-called “mega-structures”, and (horizontal or vertical) “hybrid” buildings.
