Objective of “Aging Studio 2010/2011″ by Erhard An-He Kinzelbach:
The studio aims at discussing and prototyping ideas for the whole range of issues – from rethinking care typologies to better fit the idea of aging in place, from imagining spatial organizations for new forms of community and family life to ergonomic considerations on a material level. The studio will imagine spatial environments that an aging society will live in and interact with.
Objective of Independent Research“Ten Subjects” by Haoru Chen:
As the culminating point of the five-year architectural education, this thesis studio is set up to advice students on their own independent research and design of two continuous terms. The students were advised to choose a specific field of research and to write a detailed program on a real site in which the hypothetical project would locate.
