ARC 457: Berlin Summer Program Design Studio
The University of Kentucky (UK/CoD) Berlin Summer studio focuses on the development of new housing typologies for the Schumacher Quartier in Berlin. Each student worked through iterative modeling exercises to consider the potential of the building form to enhance the relationship between its inhabitants and the city by juxtaposition of a select public program and the private nature of living within the constraints of the urban context.
The studio took place over 8 weeks at the Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory (ANCB) in Berlin, Germany. The Schumacher Quartier site was selected as a potential site that the local Senat is considering for housing developments in the city and the studio proposals were developed with their input over the course of the summer session.
