RaRe Design Studio  | B.Arch  Final Year


How do design, buildings, processes and products 'engage' people? How do diverse and different design, construction and renovation practices transform human experiences and affect human trajectories within the built environment.

Through the lens of spatial interventions in infrastructure and the concept of interconnected networks of agents, this module reflects on how design professionals influence, affect and enable people and livelihoods. Students are challenged to see, understand and articulate the interlinkages of processes across spatial scales, from individual everyday practices to wider urban interventions.


 We explore the complicated forms of association between infrastructure and agency, taking in: culture, everyday life, skills, buildings, sites, city, regulations, clients, institutions, models, images, urban visions and landscape.

By doing this the module aims to decipher the practices and consequences of design, use and inhabitation, as well as their ontological specificities. Ultimately the focus lies with decoding intervention practices and their corresponding implications for design and habitation, and to interrogate and hold to account architecture's ability to provide the spatial conditions of social transformation.
