Sense of Place

"Sense of Place" showcases five diploma projects of Studio 1, Institute of Architecture, exploring the concept of place and its relationship with different agencies of people, nature, and architecture. The works range from investigating the intersection between artificial and natural processes in a construction site in Paris, to proposing a new form of collective living through the design of an interface between leisure and necessity in Berlin. One of the projects explores the potential of a hybrid winery and public space in London, while another investigates the way we experience and produce flavor through a taste factory on an island in Vienna. The fifth project highlights the impact of architecture on economic forces and is located in logistic parks in western Czech Republic. Overall, the exhibition emphasizes on the importance of place-making in creating livable and engaging environments that enrich our lives.
