Course Description: 
This studio will be organized around a series of small exercises that will increase in spatial complexity as the quarter progresses. An emphasis in this studio will be on process – an exploration of variations in search of a preferred direction, and a recognition that our drawings, models and other studies are ‘representations’, a means to an end. As this is a DESIGN STUDIO, the majority of in-class time will be spent working on design problems and drawing exercises and discussing their outcomes. The studio is a unique setting for learning, and we all must strive to build a cohesive environment that promotes communication and effective working. Everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher. Cooperation and consideration towards one another are essential.
