Course Description:	Design problems that enable to develop the ability to use environmental conditions as data for design approaches; design problems that enable to discuss structure, construction and details; design problems that require inquiry in various levels of detail; experiencing of less complicated building groups; integration of technical data into design processes; investigation and research into all design fields trough seminars; field trips to allow a fruitful discussion of the contemporary architectural scene of Tirana.
Course Objectives:	The main objective of the course is to make students able to develop a conceptual design [CONCEPT] based on a thorough analysis of the project site [CONTEXT] and the required program [CONTENT]. At the end of this studio the candidate architect should have learned at least the basic issues of a social building design [school, community center, social center, etc]
