5.00 Credits
Architectonics. Studies nature of architectural ideas directly through medium of space. Mass- void modeling explores part, transformation, figure-ground, etc. and is basis of planimetric, axonometric, perspective and graphic studies. Co-requisites: ARCH 140- Architecture students / DSGN 131- ID students
-
5.00 Credits
Dynamics. Continues study of architectural ideas directly through space. Volume modeling explores spatial intersections, tartan grid, light, circulation, materials and structure, as aspects of plastic design at human scale. Animation and color also studied. Prerequisite: ARCH 101, Co-requisites: ARCH 240 - Architecture students / DSGN 341 - ID students
-
3.00 Credits
The course focuses on three areas simultaneously: technical drawing, graphic and fine arts, and an introduction to computer applications in architecture.

Addresses the development of the modern movement in architecture from the built and theoretical work of Boullée and Ledoux in the eighteenth century to buildings by twentieth century masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright, LeCorbusier, Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, and Louis Kahn. Changes in the form and the development of modern building types are discussed in relation to the new technological, social, political, and economic circumstances to which they respond. Prerequisite: ARCH 161
-
5.00 Credits
Design problems are given which deal with specific issues as they pertain to the generation and making of architectural form/space, i.e. program, site, structure, material, light, geometry; all of which are understood as sources and reference for spacial intervention/solution. Emphasis is on the generation and evaluation of the architectural parti. Prerequisite: ARCH 102.
-
5.00 Credits
Design problems are structured so as to necessitate the resolution of multiple issues simultaneously and interdependently. Emphasis is on the translation and development of a parti into spaces capable of being inhabited and constructed. Prerequisite: ARCH 201.
