ARCH-704 Design 4: Integrated Contexts & Mediums

5 Credits

This is the final studio in a series of four course design studios. This studio emphasizes the comprehensive nature of architectural design, the complexities of a design proposal’s contexts and the required expertise of handing a variety of architectural mediums. One project, of moderate complexity, engages students in a design investigation for a site situated in a vivid ecological context (urban or rural). The development of the project (working in teams) includes all aspects of design development, including documentation of typical construction details. The schedule and deliverables for this course are coordinated with Technology III. Integrated Building Systems instructors advise the students on their projects alongside the studio. io.
