Design Studio 2

The relationship of architecture to the body is developed further with an exploration of essential architectural principles as they relate to a fundamental understanding of natural elements and human tendencies. Projects introduce scale, enclosure, architectural elements, spatial expression, and program as form givers. An emphasis is placed on section, three-dimensional modeling, and orthographic documentation and writing. While 1B students will not be expected to specify specific materials or systems of construction, they will be expected to demonstrate an understanding that architectural form is not monolithic, but rather, is the synthesis of multiple interdependent parts.
