Description:
This course is the last studio before entering the Final Project stage. As such, this studio
becomes the estuary of various kinds of knowledge that have been obtained so far.
Theoretical knowledge, design methods, materials, site and urban space investigation,
programming, spatial intervention, and arrangement and how all these things work in design
are the focus and core of this studio.
The studio believes that the principles of strength-utility and beauty can produce an
architectural product, but by giving an additional touch that is experimental, speculative, and
futuristic will open the gap to produce a new architectural work. This is the ideal to be
achieved. A wide range of ideas, themes, and in-depth concepts is how the studio works.
Each student is given the freedom to explore, search, and question various conditions faced
to find conflicts that will become opportunities for architecture. This studio is expected to be
a kind of agora, a place where architectural knowledge is questioned so that it becomes a
home for new architectural knowledge that develops.

Description:
The course provides the students with the ability to transform their conceptual design
proposals written in their thesis (architectural design writing) into spatial programming and
architectural design. Students are required to be able to formulate design problems,
formulate design criteria based on the results of studies and analyses, and solve relevant
problems through architectural design with exploration of materials, logical building
construction systems, and the application of sustainability.
45
Semester 8
Two types of final project design are distinguished: typology-based design and issue-based
design. In typology-based design, students determine the typology of the building to be
designed after determining the formulation of problems that need to be answered through
design. For typology-based design, the design object has clear standards and criteria.
In contrast, issue-based design requires students to identify and address more abstract
problems, necessitating the use of architectural typologies that are not commonly found. The
design process is not just focused on the architectural aspects but also on students' ability
to engage with deeper social and technological issues.

Architectural psychology is a subject that studies the transactions between individuals and
their environment, which includes the built environment. It seeks to understand how people
perceive, interact with, and are affected by the environment, and how people influence and
shape it. Architectural psychology looks at a wide range of topics, including how people's
behavior is influenced by the design and layout of their physical surroundings, how they react
to different types of environmental stimuli, and how they cope with environmental stressors
such as noise or crowding. It also investigates how people's experiences and attitudes
towards the environment can influence their behavior and decision-making, and how
environmental factors can impact psychological wellbeing.
The course will enable students to understand the overview of the field of architectural
psychology and its main areas of study, including how people perceive and interact with the
environment, and how environmental factors can impact behavior and well-being. Second,
students will be introduced to key theories and research findings in architectural psychology,
to develop an understanding of the methods used to study the relationships between people
and their environment. Third, students will be able to apply research findings and insights in
discovering various strategies to improve the quality of the environment. Finally, students
will be able to analyze factors that influence people's environmental behaviors, such as their
attitudes, values, and perceptions of the environment that can help promote more
sustainable behaviors.
Objectives:
CLO 1 : Students are able to identify keywords and the overview of the field of
architectural psychology and its main areas of study, including how people
perceive and interact with the environment, and how environmental factors can

Description:
This course aims to explore the possibilities of waste processing products that are abundant
in our daily lives. The type of waste material will be different in each semester so that there
is a variety of knowledge and experimentation of waste in the form of architectural elements.
By understanding the basic characteristics of waste materials, their categorization, and their
possibility of becoming architectural elements and their cycles in buildings, we can reflect on
our own relationship to the plastic waste we produce and can train sensitivity towards waste
production in everyday life. The focus of waste materials this semester is urban valleys which
54
are often called urban mining. Urban mining is something different. It means recovering and
reusing cities' waste materials, such as concrete, bricks, steel reinforcements, roofing
materials, copper pipes or aluminum. This course will discuss what urban mining is. Where
did it come from? Does architecture contribute to generating urban mining? Is it dangerous?
How can we reduce its impact? Can it be used again in new buildings?
Objectives:
CLO 2 : Students are able to analyze and sort the types of construction waste produced
by urban mining.
CLO 3 : Students are able to create architectural elements prototype from urban mining
found in the existing site.
