This studio examines the complex interrelationships between performance criteria, building subsystems and their integration, specification, evaluation, and the design of complex buildings. This studio is concerned with the detailed design development relating to the spatial, visual, acoustic and thermal performance of buildings as well as the long-term integrity of the integrated systems. The focus of the studio is the design integration of at least two building systems and their interdisciplinary objectives - structure, enclosure, interior, mechanical, and the safety systems - addressing the issues of constructability and technical innovation.
