Architecture 201 - Intro.To the Built Environment

This course is conceived as an experiential gateway into the different fields embraced by architecture and design. Emphasizing the collaborative and interdisciplinary character of practice that engages with the built environment, the course units explore specific disciplines, such as architectural design, landscape architecture, interior architecture, urban planning, historic preservation, sustainability, or building technology. Hands-on projects involving visual documentation, design exercises, or fieldwork combine with lectures and discussion that consider the historical and critical context of design and planning.
