The design IV studio's site is located in the narrow streets of Mar Mikhael.
The lot has two 1-story existing structures and a free-standing facade facing the street.
The studio's first exercise dealt with designing a 3-story house for a person with memory loss.
This blog will track the second exercise.
Students are required to design a retail space. The design and function of the space will be decided by the student according to the site analysis and an in-depth research of prominent iconic and contemporary retail spaces. The purpose of this project is to explore how the urban site informs the interior design and function of the building and to further evaluate each student's ability to study and read a given urban site, observe its needs and its potential, and propose a strong conceptual argument that informs the design elements.
This blog hopes to generate a discussion on each student's process and concept.
