Hyperbody’s MSc 1 studio inspires its students to rethink conventional design processes in order to creatively challenge the contemporary culture, society, and technology and their relation to architecture. The studio operates at the scale of an architectural insert situated within urban context. The studio framework specifically challenges the students to develop an architectural process linking objective (performance-driven, empirically validated) and subjective (abstract, artistic, intuitive) qualities.

Design studio

This semester, Hyperbody MSc1 embarks on a project dealing with the design, fabrication, erection and operation of an architectural intervention situated in Delft, between the Faculty of Architecture and the Delft Science Center. The site offers ample opportunities to study interaction patterns amongst the regular as well as the spontaneous users while at the same time allows for encouraging new interaction scenarios, enhancement of active participation and transformation of current spatial configuration. In the design studio students are grouped in expert units called "atoms". Each atom identifies, researches and consequently answers to a different architectural, societal or cultural challenge. In this, every atom develops a unique, task-driven expertise. Throughout the duration of the course atoms cluster together forming projects - specific architectural interventions, to be tested, prototyped as full-scale components and deployed on location.
