ARCH 420: Architectural Design Studio VI

 

This studio explores museum and exhibition design as environments that shape how people see, move, interpret, and engage with cultural content. Rather than treating museums as neutral display containers, the studio examines how spatial configuration, circulation, visibility, lighting, thresholds, and viewing positions shape the visitor experience. Through a comprehensive design project, students investigate the relationship between architecture, exhibition, and audience, developing proposals that integrate conceptual thinking, spatial analysis, and design exploration. The course emphasises how movement and perception create meaning, positioning architecture as an active mediator between exhibits and visitors.
