During the course of the time we work through ‘making’ exercises, abstract and literal, in an attempt to ascertain a semblance of meaning through making. We will begin to locate design (?) through an understanding of SOMETHING. By looking at SOMETHING, we will begin to investigate that which is ‘place.’
Continuation of fundamental architectural design exploration. Studio projects focus on the g
eneration of ideas based on experience and an understanding of SURFACES. Emphasis on systematic analysis of culture, scale, materiality, and networks. Students work in groups and individually. Representational methods expand on architectural conventions through experimentation. Fieldtrips to relevant architectural sites.
