Exploring Alterity is a research focussed studies unit established to raise a series of complex questions in relation to mental and physical states. Students will be expected to partake in rigorous class discussions and debates in regards to how architecture / architects question, research, communicate and explore current and historical contexts within this space. A selection of readings and case studies will be interrogated, and a series of written and diagrammatic outputs, along with mapping and modelling of current and future conditions will be expected throughout the semester.
