For other continued courses, some prior experience or education in the subject matter may be required. If in doubt, check with their instructors or with Fred Stitt, Director, SFIA . Fred Stitt, Architect. Architecture is much more than building.
Good building provides shelter and accommodates basic human needs.
Architecture does that too, and, when successful, it rewards, enhances, raises, and expands human consciousness. The techniques for building well and designing to reach and reward the human mind and emotions are explained in detail in this course and demonstrated through three building design assignments. This course presents the great architecture of the world and the little-known design methods used to create them. Features Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, Industrial Revolution, and the Organic and Modern movements. 3 units for independent study.
