Learning to design architectural spaces intended for everyday inhabitance – houses, apartments, apartment buildings – represents one of the most important steps in the education process of an architecture student. Such a step, appropriately, demands a carefully prepared practical curriculum, and within it, an architectural brief created and curated through a valid set of parameters.
This paper aims to present and further examine the principles used in creating appropriate architectural briefs for housing design studio courses at the University of Banja Luka, Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy.
Methodology of the research is comprised of juxtaposition and cross-referencing of several key influences:
Results and further analysis dictate specific sets (clusters) of brief design: contextual range (natural to suburban to urban), topographic range (flat vs. sloped), scale (housing ensembles vs. individual houses), scope of intervention (green-field or interpolation) and type of intervention (collective vs. atomized).
