In nurturing architecture’s foundational principles of visual, material, and conceptual experimentation, ARS 280 lays the foundation for subsequent studios, lifelong learning, and curiosity for architectural design processes. It probes the material, organizational, and spatial qualities of the ground—a shared horizontal territory inhabited by plants, people, and buildings—one that is as much cultural as it is natural. Through iterative and analog processes, students integrate drawing and making to construct and reconstruct lines in the ground. Probing the physical and conceptual ground for natural or constructed patterns, students develop foundation-level design skills within the context of larger environmental and cultural discourses. A required fee of $75 to cover group-supplied materials and/or printing is charged at the time of registration. Prerequisite: ARH 110 or permission of the instructor. Enrollment limited to 15.
