Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0230 - Intermed. Digital Arch Studio

This intermediate studio architecture course will be a design investigation of a particular theme in, or approach to, architecture and the built environment. In this course, students will develop and apply contemporary digital architectural skills (sketches, plans, elevations, models, computer diagramming, and various modes of representation [TBD]) to inter-disciplinary and socially pertinent design problems. Creative and indexical study and analysis will be used to generate and foster a broad range of concepts and language necessary to identify and define spaces. The objective of the course is to solve a cross-section of simple and complex architectural issues involving site, construction, inhabitation, function, form and space through rigorous, open-ended, and creative design work. Topic for this course is to be determined.

Independent Work Lab fee: $50. Prerequisite: one introductory architecture studio before enrolling in this course. Students are expected to spend approximately 8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
