Project Walk
Architecture with Architects
venue :
CEPT University students

This session took the form of a guided walk-through with students at one of the studio's completed projects, offering a first-hand experience of architecture through the lens of making and building. Rather than discussing the project solely through drawings and photographs, the visit enabled participants to engage directly with the built environment and understand how design ideas are translated into reality.

As students moved through the project, the discussion unpacked the various challenges encountered during its conception, design, and construction. The walk highlighted the decisions, compromises, innovations, and problem-solving strategies that shaped the final outcome, revealing how architecture evolves through an ongoing dialogue between ideas, materials, craftsmanship, and site conditions.

The walk sought to demonstrate that some of the most valuable lessons in architecture are learned through the physical act of making. By experiencing a completed building firsthand, students gained a deeper appreciation of the journey from concept to construction and an understanding of how architecture can teach enduring lessons about creativity, perseverance, and the value of collective effort.
