Studio 2E methods rely on the art of building, which we de\ufb01ne as a synthesis between an artistic approach to design and the technical knowledge of building construction. This method brings together workshop-based learning with an emphasis on the architect\u2019s drawing and modelmaking explorations as a tool for design, engaging in materials, construction, and sculpting architectural space and place.<\/p>\n

We believe architecture needs to go beyond scuntinising function and technical performance alone. A future sustainable building culture must rely on architecture\u2019s ability to touch us emotionally and elevate our spirits, to serve and touch us in ways to promote long term architecture of endurance and permanence, creating frameworks for future generations – in short, an architecture that sustains.<\/p>\n

As the architectural idea and its making are inseparable, we focus closely on materials, structure, construction and technology. This includes knowledge and curiosity of new and old materials, technologies, and the conditions of production, examining them haptically and visually to uncover new potentials relevant to architecture. Toward these ends, we engage with historical perspectives and history of construction, current theoretical concepts, design typology, atmosphere and regional site context, each time from the point of view of a building\u2019s making. We subsequently embrace a sustainable building culture marked through a long lifespan and aesthetic quality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Method<\/h5>\n

Studio 2E\u2019s methods of teaching bring together workshop-based learning with an emphasis on the architect\u2019s drawing as a tool to design through materials and construction. In the workshops, we design and construct to reflect the complexity of larger architectural designs. Thus, tutoring may often take place in the workshop areas. Within the studio space – at the drawing tables – we engage larger architectural ideas through construction and materials. The drawing practice informs the making, where the working drawing is to be celebrated. Architectural projects will be proposed at a smaller scale, drawn between 1:20 and 1:200, in order to maintain the core focus of the studio. Making is the end goal for any design process in Studio 2E and the set of drawing material will reflect this.<\/p>\n

Building programs and sites are normally given, with a connection to current concerns, having an emphasis toward public\/institutional activities or important activities in the private sector.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Activities<\/h5>\n

At Studio 2E we engage with current cultures and techniques of production through visits to construction sites and handcraft workshops and factories. Cultivating a connection to Nordic and Scandinavian building culture, we utilize excursions and field studies to focus on specific materials, historical constructions, and learning from ingenious building solutions.<\/p>\n

With a firm look toward society\u2019s future challenges, we seek to recover the historical role of architects as imaginative and resourceful makers in the art of building.<\/p>\n
