Studio Overview

Escapecore Studio operates as a research laboratory where graduate students investigate the architectural conditions of escape — both literal and metaphorical. Thresholds, corridors, and transitional zones are treated as primary research subjects rather than secondary design elements.

Research Process

Students begin with cinematic analysis of escape sequences in film, identifying spatial patterns that recur across genres. These patterns are mapped onto real architectural sites, producing hybrid documentation that combines film stills, measured drawings, and experiential diagrams.

Design Outputs

• Spatial threshold diagrams documenting movement sequences
• Prototype interior interventions testing escape-route geometries
• Collective exhibition presenting research findings to a public audience

Pedagogical Framework

Every design decision is accompanied by documented research rationale, and every research finding generates a design proposition — the studio-as-research-lab model at the center of the CD HUB ecosystem.
