Architectural Design Fundamentals

Architectural Design Fundamentals is a Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies class taught by Robert Goodman.

Course Description
This course is suitable for students with little or no background in architectural design who are interested in developing their skills in a studio setting. The course focuses on the design of simple buildings and includes basic architectural drawing and model study techniques, aesthetic and functional analysis, appropriate uses of construction techniques and structures, and issues of site design. It explores architectural design in the context of environmental sustainability, and it requires a considerable amount of student out-of-class time for analysis and design development.
