ARCH-703 Design 3: Urban Qualities & Materials Materialities

5 Credits

This design studio will focus on contemporary aspects of architectural urbanity. Specifically, the students will be introduced to the interrelationships between urban form and its material qualities. Designing from the outside in, issues such as mixed land use, composite building use, transportation, and environment will be coordinated through the specificities of a building enclosure and site. Coordinated with Technology I and Technology II, structural and material requirements will be considered in the design of the project enhancing students understanding of integration and comprehensive design.
