The first master's design studio aims to develop a number of basic competencies with the students, structured around four key concepts: context, content, concept, and construction. These are linked to skills in design, research, management, communication, and teamwork. At the same time, the international dimension is strongly emphasized by occasionally choosing foreign project locations and opening the studios to international students, meaning that English will/can also be spoken in the studios.
In Semester 2, students are again assigned to one of two studios based on a motivation letter, aiming for an equal distribution:
- Studio “Global Perspectives”: a parallel international studio in collaboration with another architecture faculty/university, where topics such as context, climate adaptation, co-creation, construction, and architectural detailing are explored.
- Studio “Landscape-Driven Regional Development”: where themes such as landscape, urban/rural dynamics, climate adaptation, water management, and related issues are studied.

| Evaluation method | |

| Other evaluation method during teaching period | 100 % |
|
| Other | evaluation based on design assignments |
|
|
|
|
|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Attendance at the sessions of the design studio is required. Students must justify any absence in the design studio. In case students cannot submit (parts of) a design project in time, they should follow the guidelines at stake communicated through blackboard. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | In case of legally justified absence the current project should be fully completed. Unauthorized absence at one third or more of the number of design studio sessions associated with a design studio project, results in mark 0 for the assignment at stake. Failure to submit the project on the appointed day and hour (unless justified) results in mark 0 for the assignment at stake. |

|
| Additional information | During their study stay, students should master the common presentation skills (hand and computer drawing, model making including laser cutting...) of the study programmes at the faculty of Architecture and Arts of Hasselt University. |
