“When three years ago the architectural studio 1/2 was introduced at the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje, most of us felt a curious uncertainty before the objective, the method and the general meaning of the architectural project in our first year.

How should we consider learning, as a process or as a product? As a play or as a function? As a dogma or as a dialogue? As an individual or as a collective act? What can the students do when they first encounter architecture? So far, a third generation of students are taking the program of the architectural studio 1/2; it has turned into a thrilling, challenging project, a place where we study and meet while thinking and creating architecture.“
