Description

This studio architecture course will be a digital design investigation into architecture and the built environment. In this course, students will develop and apply contemporary digital architectural skills, including sketches, plans, elevations, models, computer diagramming, and various modes of digital representation to inter-disciplinary design problems. Students will explore a broad range of spatial concepts using digital mediums, including iterative, algorithmic and emergent design philosophies. The objective of the course is to solve unique architectural issues involving site, construction, inhabitation, function, form, and space through rigorous, open-ended, and creative computer-based design work.
