Studio Focus
This experimental architecture and urban design studio combines top architects from Shanghai Xian Dai Architectural Design Group with University of Oregon students for cross-cultural learning. The studio will focus on DESIGN WITH NATURE: sun, water, wind and wildlife, using downtown Milwaukie, Oregon as a learning subject. The class will emphasize low-cost energy-efficiency through load reduction, passive solar, daylighting and natural ventilation. Stormwater management and artful rainwater design strategies will also be discussed. To incorporate performance-based design, the studio will teach solar simulation and parametric design methods using Rhino Grasshopper software.
