  • ARCH 1001: Introduction to Design and the Environment

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    An introduction to the complex and contingent relationship between architects and the environments in which they intervene. Using contemporary and historical materials, students will begin to understand how architects establish and position design processes in response to their social, technological, and material situations. Coursework includes both position papers in response to particular reading topics as well as diagrammatic interrogations of the city around us.

    Note: (1) Open to non-majors. (2) A required course for all students interested in majoring in architecture and an elective university Core course in the Arts category. (3) This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Arts (AR) requirement. Although it may be usable towards graduation as a major requirement or university elective, it cannot be used to satisfy any of the university Gen Ed requirements.

  • ARCH 1011: Visual Literacy for Architects 1

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course focuses on the development of visual literacy, graphic techniques, and 3D formal exploration. Through projects supported by research, graphically-based exercises, and formal investigations, students will be exposed to the process of representation in architecture. Units dealing with line, patterning, surface articulation, form, and assembly will be explored through 2D and 3D analog constructions. Thematic concepts linked to each unit will be presented through the work and representation of architects and artists.

    Note: Course previously titled “Design Representation I.”

  • ARCH 1017: Photography and Visual Literacy

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Photography is explored as a visual language, complete with vocabulary, syntax, and modes of expression. This course introduces the principles of visual design that are particularly important for creating articulate and aesthetically engaging photographs. Using their own digital cameras, students develop sufficient technical competence to be able to make photographs that investigate the fundamental issues of visual design, in the context of environmental studies.

    Note: This course can be used to satisfy the university Core Arts (AR) requirement. Although it may be usable towards graduation as a major requirement or university elective, it cannot be used to satisfy any of the university GenEd requirements. See your advisor for further information.
