Abstract

The thesis analyses a speculative experimental architecture design towards future higher education based on the metaxographic design theory. The method involves a combination of speculative design, metaxographic design, as well as design-based research. Qualitative data gathered from a workshop after the first design process will be analysed and used to generate more space alternatives. Ultimately, the project included is intended to create engaging and interdisciplinary environments that allow users to have better preconditions for self-awareness, self-development, and a dynamic relationship with the space. The study is a practice of metaxography theory focusing on qualitative aspects of architecture design and a contribution to accelerates the pace of architectural space design keep up with the development of interdisciplinary pedagogy theory in a speculative context.
