Field Trip<br />
Laba’s study trips are a crucial part <strong>of</strong> the studio <strong>and</strong> link the urban<br />
constitution established in the first semester, to it’s implementation in the<br />
form <strong>of</strong> architectural projects in the second semester.<br />
The field trip usually takes place at the end <strong>of</strong> the first semester, after students<br />
have acquired an in-depth knowledge <strong>of</strong> the place through data, studies <strong>and</strong><br />
visual material. They confront this theoretical knowledge with a personal<br />
experience <strong>of</strong> the place <strong>and</strong> explore in depth a specific site <strong>of</strong> intervention<br />
where they propose an architectural / urban design project.<br />
Semester 2<br />
The second semester focuses on the specific physical implementation <strong>and</strong><br />
testing <strong>of</strong> the urban constitution. In this semester new typologies <strong>of</strong> urban<br />
morphology will be explored. What can government <strong>of</strong>ficials, architects, urban<br />
designers <strong>and</strong> planners do to improve the quality <strong>of</strong> urban life? What kind<br />
<strong>of</strong> urban typologies work well, how can housing, working <strong>and</strong> civic spaces<br />
be rethought <strong>and</strong> redesigned to reflect the needs <strong>and</strong> desires <strong>of</strong> an urban<br />
population? This semester can be considered a ‘rehearsal’ for the specific<br />
EPFL SAR master thesis. Students learn to develop a project on their own,<br />
from the formulation <strong>of</strong> the question to it’s development into an architectural<br />
project. For this students work individually or in groups <strong>of</strong> two depending on<br />
the complexitiy <strong>of</strong> the proposed project.<br />
The second semester is organized around 4 assignments based on building<br />
phases as defined by different architectural bodies (AIA, RIBA, SIA, loi MOP).<br />
Students define the projects themselves, that is they choose a site as well as<br />
a program.<br />

This refers back to the objective set out at the beginning, namely to extend the<br />
architect’s influence on the built environment. The matrix below shows that<br />
the actual field <strong>of</strong> influence <strong>of</strong> the architect today is much reduced compared<br />
to the exp<strong>and</strong>ed field <strong>of</strong> influence that <strong>laba</strong> is advocating:<br />
