What will be presented?
Students from the Self Sufficient Buildings Studio—part of the Master in Advanced Architecture Year 1—will present the results of a semester-long exploration into climate-resilient housing.
The studio investigates how architecture can respond to local conditions and energy challenges through design. Throughout the term, students engaged in hands-on experiments with building physics, digital fabrication, computational design and physical computing. Each project began with the analysis of a specific energy phenomenon, translated into a physical prototype.
These early investigations evolved into complete housing projects for medium to large communities. The final proposals integrate:
-
complex energy strategies,
-
spatial organisation and material experimentation,
-
and regenerative approaches to construction.
Each project rethinks how buildings can behave—not just as shelters, but as active agents in their ecosystems.
