Course Description
In the second term of architecture, students will be encouraged to explore architectural design at greater depth. Students will continue to design through the use of sketches, drawings, and models in a variety of different media, as well as with computer-aided design. Through the study of historical precedents, students will consider such issues as approach, entry, structural organization, materiality, and form. Term-long projects will often be assigned, giving students the chance to discover their own approach to integrating all of the necessary concepts into an architectural design. There will be a required evening lab. Prerequisite: Art 301, Architecture I or Art 304, Drawing I.
