The studio was about finding the relationship between theory and practice, then fulfilling the concept through physical model making without the use of digital tools. With heavy emphasis on the given administrative programmatic contents and the site contexts, the conceptual elements were developed. Through out the design process, underlying issues common to buildings were explored; the program, site conditions, structural and geometrical clarity, spatial hierarchy, private and public spaces, and the integration of the plan and its three dimensional form. The final building proposal is the result of a form that thrives to achieve the most practical elements of the required contents and contexts, with aesthetic conceptual aspirations.
