Technology Studio B focuses on the integrated design of a small but complex building. The students will be expected to address a challenging site and program that require research and creativity and the inventive use of technologies and materials, developing details and planning mechanical systems without compromising the development of architectural language. The course builds on the experience students have accumulated in Technology Studio A. The aim of the course is to emphasize the choice of building materials, the structural technology and the development of building details as an integral part of the design process, with an emphasis on the use of advanced materials and advanced technologies.

The course sharpens the understanding that the process of detailing a building requires a fundamental understanding of the qualities of materials, the limitations of the craftsmen, the manufacturing processes of products and the difficulties of maintenance and repair. The course emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and study of new materials in response to the architect's current challenges.

The course is taught through studio meetings during which students will discuss and present their work process with an emphasis on investigating details using physical models.

The final submission will be in the format of an A3 booklet of drawings organized as a formal set of drawings for tender.
