ARCH 107 - Cutting-Edge Architecture Field Trips

Institution:

College of Marin

Subject:

Description:

(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Seven field days, 48 hours lecture. Based on initial trip of one week per 48 hour lecture. Subsequent trips will vary.) This course is for anyone interested in cutting-edge design, and particularly for architecture, interior, landscape and set design students working in this 21st century. We will visit inspiring examples of the latest in architectural design in various cities such as Los Angeles, Dallas and Berlin. We will also visit the seminal masterpieces that lead up to these works. By actually visiting these sites, students will gain crucial understandings of: 1. how architects approach a site, 2. how they satisfy programmatic requirements in inventive ways, 3. what forms they use and why, 4. how it feels to be in and moving through the created spaces, 5. what are the conceptual underpinnings of projects, and 6, how the totality of design works in such architect designed elements as furniture and landscape design. These intensive field trips will include lectures, visits to architectural sites, drawing, discussion, and personal exploration. (CSU)
