Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0208 - Architecture Studio Foundation

This is the first studio for those students interested in the design fields: architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and product design. These fields all share a studio based approach to problem solving that is at once spatial, material, conceptual and social. Over the course of the semester, students will be given a series of projects that will introduce visual communication tools such as plans, elevations, and sections, projected drawings and model making. Emphasis will be placed upon developing a conceptual approach to a problem and developing a design process that may lead to unexpected outcomes. The specific projects will address issues of the body, light, comfort and materials. All projects will be presented in a studio critique format with drawings and models conveying the intent of the design project.

Arts, Design, and Media Independent Work Quantitative Skills Lab Fee: $80.00 Students are expected to spend 10 hours weekly in preparation and work outside of class time.
