This studio architecture course will be design investigation of a particular theme in, or approach to, architecture and the built environment (details TBD and change per semester). In this course, students will develop and apply traditional and contemporary architectural skills (sketches, plans, elevations, models, computer diagramming, and various modes of digital representation (TBD) to inter-disciplinary and socially pertinent design problems. Creative and indexical study and analysis will be used to generate and foster a broad range of concepts and language necessary to identify and define spaces. The objective of the course is to solve a cross-section of simple and complex architectural issues involving site, construction, inhabitation, function, form and space through rigorous, open-ended, and creative design work. There are no prerequisites for this Five College Architectural Studies course--though one semester of design is recommended. The specific topic and lab fee TBD. Enrollment will be determined after the first class meeting..
