Art Studio 381 - Speculative and Staged: Paper Architecture and the Show Bible

Like an architectural drawing set, a “Show Bible” is a detailed, reference document. However, instead of plans, specs, and schedules for owners and contractors, a show bible outlines the plot, characters, settings, and themes for a television series for potential writers and producers. For this advanced studio, students co-opt the format of the show bible to create a compilation of reference material for an architecture that cannot otherwise exist. Students are tasked with defining and illustrating an imagined world or alternate reality through maps, plans, perspectives. Foundational architectural paper projects in addition to contemporary production designs are used as precedents for this studio. Prerequisites: ARS 280 and ARS 281. Restrictions: ARU majors only.
