Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0250 - SPACE: Intermed Arch Studio

This intermediate architecture studio will be a design investigation of a particular theme in, or approach to, architec-ture and the built environment. In this course, students will develop and apply architectural skills (sketches, plans, elevations, models, diagramming, and various modes of representation by hand and with the computer) to inter-disciplinary and socially pertinent design problems. A design language will be developed through a series of exercises that will culminate in a building project. The objective of the course is to solve both simple and complex architectural issues involving site, construction, inhabitation, function, form and space through rigorous, open-ended, and creative design work. The topic for this course is WATER + SPACE: Creating sustainable buildings designed to carry, collect, engage with and re-use water.

Independent Work Quantitative Skills Lab fee: $75. Prerequisite: At least one introductory architecture studio. In this course, students can expect to spend 8 or more hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
