Architecture 225ED - Intermediate Studies in Architecture: 'Environmental Principles'

This hybrid studio addresses environmental principles with lectures and work sessions integrated with design projects. The effect of form on light and shadow are investigated as students research architectural solutions sited in their current location. Using daylight, the sun's movement, and sun-path diagrams, students will design, draw and build a solar clock. Knowledge gained will be developed to incorporate ideas of community through an extended design problem. Students will be asked to present design solutions using both drawings and models - both physical and digital. An introduction to the computer software Rhinoceros will allow students to design and document their projects digitally.

Prereq: ARCH-205 or equivalent.
