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 that can keep up with the actual needs and desires of people in a rapidly changing world. Such a process can only be validated by participants in the project - users, stakeholders and designers - actual people who judge the state of the design process against their actual needs.

Design studio

This semester, Hyperbody MSc1 embarked 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 (De Vries van Heyst plantsoen). The site offers ample opportunities to study interaction patterns among its 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.
