Basics of Architectural Design

Course Description:

This studio course introduces you to the design process as it applies to architecture and architectural space. Through site analysis, research, idea generation, sketch and physical model explorations, and final proposal presentation, we will learn to interpret the locational, contextual and structural aspects of design and to generate and explore spatial ideas. Through a small scale site-specific design project  we will develop individual architecture-related skills. We will learn through individual and team projects, class discussions and peer critique.
