ARCD 151 - Architectonics

Institution:

University of San Francisco

Subject:

Description:

Accompanied by weekly assignments, three core semester projects will provide a framework for investigating how to conceptualize, construct, and represent complex architectural space. This is in part the definition of Architectonics in the context of this course: understanding the interdependence of three central themes, played out in the core projects: poetic utilitarian construction, personal/sociological histories as they affect tectonics, and the translation of a 3-D Idea into 2-D Space, and back again into one of society's most powerful 3-D spaces, that of Architecture.
