Thesis Elective: For Garbage
The elective course on behalf of Thesis Elective with the topic FOR GARABAGE is focused on collaboration between students from different countries over distance using all the equipment of the Value Lab. From holding presentations and having discussions with Prague students we will go over to development of designs including the initial part of the design process: sketching. We will use the bright new application exclusively developed only for this purpose. The topic of garbage is a very painfull problem in all countries an we will try to find out the possible contribution of Architects. We will analyze the problem, discuss the solutions and design, vizualize and fabricate the visual outputs. We shall end up with an Exposition.
