Comprehensive Studio Field Trip

Comprehensive Studio Site Visit & Contour Workshop | March 6th

Comprehensive Studio students recently visited their project site to measure out their own proposed buildings at full scale. By laying out the footprints of their designs on the ground, students were able to better understand spatial relationships, scale, and how their projects interact with the surrounding context.

The visit also included a contour workshop focused on interpreting site topography. Students explored how elevation changes influence building placement, circulation, and site design strategies. Together, these exercises helped students translate their drawings into physical space and develop a deeper understanding of how their projects engage with the landscape.
