Description:

This tectonics studio will focus on the theories surrounding the materials and processes of making architecture. Students will investigate the inherent properties of building materials to understand their roles in informing and directing the design process. They will explore methods of structure, enclosure and assembly to analyze their effect on built form. Methods of technically precise, computer-generated representation, as learned in ARCH-408, Visualization II: Technical Documentation, will be studied as a means to communicate design intentions. Prerequisites: AHIST- 306, ARCH-310, ARCHDSN- 208; a grade of "C" or better in both ARCH-301 and ARCH-302
