Architectural Studies II

Interested in diving deeper into the world of architecture? Architecture II expands upon what you learned in Architectural Studies I. In this course, you’ll work with a hypothetical client and examine the history and socioeconomic conditions of a specific community in the world. You’ll also practice skills in siting, programming, vignetting, detailing, and visual and verbal presentation. The course concludes with a presentation of student work to guests from the professional architectural design community.

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

How to develop your unique design process that is receptive and dynamic
An understanding of how community is central to architectural intent
Design methods and spatial practices that integrate community into the built environment
How architectural ideas help transform communities
