Our everyday experiences are deeply intertwined with the spaces around us. From the cosy sanctuary of our homes to the bustling energy of public spaces, every corner of our built environment shapes our lives in profound ways. In today's world, as we confront the pressing challenges of climate change, the role of the built environment takes on even greater significance. But have you ever wondered how these spaces come into existence? How do we shape our built environment, and in turn, how does it shape us?
In this workshop, you will be introduced to the captivating field of the built environment, going beyond the boundaries of conventional professions like architecture. The goal is to inspire you to explore this field with an open mind, allowing your passions and interests to guide your journey.
Through immersive sessions and interactive activities, we will delve into the creative process of design, where there are no predefined answers to real-world problems. We will explore the critical need to understand the people for whom spaces are created and the environments in which they exist. You will discover that design is not just about aesthetics, but also about empathy, functionality, and sustainability. We will explore the need to think critically, question assumptions, and embrace the iterative nature of the design process.
The workshop aims to leave you with a broader mindset and a deeper appreciation for the field of design and architecture. Whether you aspire to become an architect, an urban planner, a product designer, or a researcher, this workshop will equip you with valuable insights and skills that transcend disciplines.
