This studio, titled “Escapecore: Body – Unit – Community,” explores architecture through the fundamental human need for shelter and retreat. Following ARCH 101, students engage in a three-phase process: analyzing architectural language, designing a singular “Escape/Refuge” capsule based on anthropometry, and finally aggregating these units into an ecological community in sites like Koramaz Valley. The course emphasizes the transition between scales—from the human body to environmental contexts—while fostering spatial literacy through hands-on making, technical drawing, and iterative physical modeling.
