The design studio at the Center for Architecture Science and Ecology seeks to develop design techniques in which environmental research; innovation, analysis and performance, is synthesized with what might be considered traditional design techniques to holistically engage the design problem as a design research. The intention is to use the environmental factors as embedded design constraints so that they have a continual and immediate presence; not driving the design intentions overtly but always being present as a primary factor. In this studio, construction systems, overall function and environmental performance take precedence; however, the primary challenge of the studio is to develop a project with a design thesis that meets a multitude performance criteria. In this studio, each student has a different site located within a different climate. The students use environmental diversity rather than programatic specificity as a driving force to produce novel architectural solutions for the project. The students are responsible for identifying a key architecture detail or system and developing that component with climate specific traits as a next generation building technology. The components are to be designed to function as the exchangers rather than resisters to the identified site flows.
