The aim of the design studio is to reflect planning approaches from the drafting table to the on-sight experience.

After the final presentation of the design studio in January, students have the chance of a proof-of-concept on site at the beginning of February. During a workshop in Al Ain and merging with local students from the ADU, a similar task, like in the preciding design studio will be posed. The working method during the fast-and-dirty workshop is limited to analogue techniques such as sketches and working models. The public presentation involves guest-critics from the academic and practice related field.

EXCURSION AND WORKSHOP
The design studio and workshop are related to each other. A single completion is not possible.
