Architectural Studies I
The study of architecture is an exciting multidisciplinary activity that combines an investigation into the design process with an examination of history and socioecological conditions. In this course, you’ll have a chance to explore architectural studies through a sequence of design prompts. You'll investigate design issues through the traditional processes of model making and drawing, and hone your observation, representation and visual presentation skills. We'll top things off with an exhibition of your work to guests from the architectural design community. Come explore whether architecture might be the right path for you.
This course is taught in a design studio format, with both independent and collaborative work and desk critiques (one-on-one meetings) between students and the instructor.
What You'll Learn
- Principles of design thinking
- How to plan and deliver visual and verbal presentations
- Design-related vocabulary and visual language to share complex ideas
