DS1210 | X LAB
Optional studio (M.Arch 2)
The M.Arch 2 program at SCI-Arc is developing and expanding the domain of emerging technologies in the design and production of architecture. With this in mind, M.Arch 2 students are given the opportunity to continue their explorations and research into the future of architecture into their second year of study through XLAB, an optional studio offered in the third term of the program. Working in a laboratory environment, students develop the knowledge acquired in the first two semesters of the M.Arch 2 program, investigating and applying the possibilities of emerging technologies, theories and model production, and testing new design territories such as scripting, biogenetics, codes, new materials, biomimicry and cellular systems. This studio is offered as an alternative?exclusive to M.Arch 2 students?to the vertical studio requirement at the 3GA level.
