Resumen de Reality Check. Multidisciplinary ways of conditioning space
Markella Menikou, Adonis Cleanthous
The aim of the paper is to illustrate a series of pedagogical strategies utilized concerning the integration of other disciplines in the design process towards redefining ways of conditioning space. Via the agenda of a specific design studio laboratory the quest for integration is tested and the boundaries of architecture and other disciplines are being challenged. The thematic of the studio poses “technology” as a lens to inspect the future of architecture, therefore it provides a fertile ground for reciprocally investigating the future of other disciplines. A series of specific methodologies and processes are explored in order to encourage a multidisciplinary approach. These processes spread throughout the year as a continuous crossover of themes, exercises, workshops, references, case studies and discussions. The Reality check exercise aims at redefining ways of innovatively conditioning space by integrating personalised insights from the disciplines of mechanical, environmental and structural engineering, construction and building services.
