Course Description
This course will introduce the basic principles of architectural design through a sequence of related projects in mechanical drawing, site analysis, and research into precedent, culminating in the design of a space or structure. With hands-on sketches, drawings, and models, students will explore the issues of a well-thought-out structure and learn to see the environment in terms of human scale, materials, and the organization of space. Class time will include discussions and demonstrations as well as studio time. There will be a required evening lab. Prerequisite: Art 200 or Art 250.
