HAA 1917 - Architecture Design Studio 2

Institution:

University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus

Subject:

History of Art and Architecture

Description:

This course introduces a fundamental approach to architectural design. Through a continuous sequence of design projects, students will learn to develop a set of principles that inform/dictate the production of architecture. These principles will be used to clarify the interrelationship of geometry, form, and composition, thus defining a systematic strategy for an architectural solution. Additionally, various methodologies, including case study analysis, site analysis, analytical diagramming, and strategic programming, will be taught in order to further inform this solution. The design principles, in coordination with the methodologies, will allow students develop an understanding of the complex relationship between design practice and architectural discourse. Finally, a range of drawing and model-making skills will be introduced as a means of seeing, understanding and presenting. A student taking this course will earn 6 credits. The pre-requisite for this course is Design Studio 1.
