Course Description:
Continuation of CSU-ARC 410 plus the development and exploration of architectural theories, building systems, and design concepts and processes involved in creating architecture with an emphasis on implications of the program and space planning issues as building form generator.
Along the pathway to all future design studies, this mid-level course engages the design student to the principles, methodologies, and communication skills that are needed in the international architectural profession.
Students will explore design as a learnable process and build confidence in their ability through iteration and repetition. Each student will design a hypothetical project on a specific, assigned site. Working both in collaborative teams and individually, students will resolve a series of design inputs to prepare a schematic solution that displays their understanding of the material.
