Abstract:
This paper discusses the explorations and learning outcomes of an architectural studio conducted with the help of digital and parametric tools. The intention was to find a new studio framework for digital architectural expression, urban form-finding, and unique design methodology. Three different urban areas of Lahore have been selected to study their prevailing problems in detail. Students were then required to provide architectural solutions with the help of digital and parametric tools. Participants in this study were fourth-year architecture students who initiated the research by searching for the existing urban issues with the help of site surveys and interviews. Their creation and exchange of ideas are reinforced by the rules of a design studio within a recurring design-investigation prototype. This paper confers three different interventions in the city and learning outcomes are gathered based on how a student has perceived, taken up the study, and has finally come up with the proposed solution. A fleeting summary is provided of the theoretical part of the studio, in-class design exercises are discussed and the end product is visually illustrated. Outcomes of this study lead to propose a studio framework methodology for introducing digital and parametric tools.
