This studio course explores advanced principals of 2 and 3 dimensional design and their application to architecture. Iterative design processes are stressed though project work and critiques. Architectural issues of site, context, parti, program, space, enclosure, and circulation, are introduced through simple building design projects. Attention is given to the further refinement of conceptual, critical thinking, and analytical skills and their application to architectural design.
Continued emphasis is placed on theory, abstract ideation, conceptualization, and synthesis.
Case study research is used to inform design decisions. Field trips are required. This course is designed for concurrent enrollment with Architecture 42 Computer Aided Design. Oxford University Press, 1980. Yale University Press, 1975.
