Architectural Design Studio II – Materialise

Materiality is not static or silent. It is lived, touched, remembered, and gives agency. Through experience, materials provoke response—thermal, acoustic, tactile—allowing space to speak beyond representation. Traditions, identities, and histories are carried in matter; form gathers significance through time, through culture, and through decay. In this studio, to materialise means more than to construct. It means thinking through doing, to speculate by building, and to allow material engagement to lead design inquiry. Architecture becomes a way of learning—iterative, embodied, and entangled with the world it inhabits.
