This course may be taken either before or after ARCH 209, Space + Design: Sustainable Innovation StudioĪdmissions with consent of the instructor. No prior architecture experience is necessary, but a willingness to experiment and a desire to learn through making are essential. Guest critics will attend a review, and students will present their work to design professionals and professors. We will work through photography and light studies, both hand-drafted and computer aided drawings, as well as physical model-making to understand space and to explore the representation of plan, section, and elevations as well as diagramming and concept models. Through a series of experimental projects that build on each other, students will develop their own design language and experiment with architecture at several scales - from a space for sitting to a dynamic built structure and its integration into a site. (Offered as ARCH 105 and ARHA 105) This hands-on design studio will foster innovation as it guides students through the development of conceptual architecture. Not open to students who have taken ARHA 111 or 215. Weekly homework assignments will consist of studio work and critical readings. Class time will be a balance of lectures, demonstrations, exercises, discussions and critiques. Historical and contemporary references will be used throughout the course to enhance and increase the student’s understanding of the visual vocabulary of art. Formal and conceptual concerns will be an integral aspect of the development of studio work. Work will be developed based on direct observation, memory, imagination and improvisation. Students will work through a variety of projects exploring drawing, sculpture, painting and hybrid forms. Other years: Offered in Fall 2022 102 Practice of ArtĪn introduction to two- and three-dimensional studio disciplines through hands-on engagement with materials supplemented by lectures, demonstrations and readings. Through these activities, at the end of the semester the student will understand in general terms what the dealings and challenges of architecture as a discipline are. Class activities include field trips, guest presentations, sketching and drawing, small design exercises, discussion of readings, and short written responses. Connecting both, we cover the formal analysis elements necessary to “read” and critique built works. We study both the practical, from sketching to parallel drawing, to the theoretical, from historical to critical perspectives. (Offered as ARCH 101 and ARHA 101) This introductory course focuses on the tools used to communicate and discuss ideas in architectural practice and theory.
