| Term: Spring Semester 2021 |
| Description: This architecture studio is an investigation into architecture and the built environment. Students develop and apply digital architectural skills, including sketches, plans, elevations, models, and diagramming to design problems. The course focuses on the 3D modeling program Rhinoceros, but also introduces the Adobe Creative Suite and digital fabrication tools. Creative and indexical study are used to generate the concepts and language necessary to identify and define spaces. Our objective is to solve both simple and complex architectural issues involving site, construction, inhabitation, function, form and space through rigorous and creative computer-based design work. The course will include a combination of software instruction and creative studio design projects. |
