48 327 - Modeling Moderns

Institution:

Carnegie Mellon University

Subject:

Description:

Modeling Modern is a course designed to get behind the skin of modern architecture. Through a familiarity with C20th buildings by architects including Kahn, Gropius and Berndtson , which we will visit and read in the light of their original orthographic construction drawings, the class will analyse the architecture through its theory, context and construction. The fuller understanding of the architects instructions conceptually connects flat with formed. The class wil translate the documents into a computer model in Revit which will be used to fabricate a physical scale model, full scale detail components, and develop animation of the construction sequence. This class will stretch our forensic powers, use a platform for collaborative work and build skills in model creation.
