ARCH 2020 - Architectural Design I


Credits: 4

Architectural Design I introduce the architecture student to the principles and methodologies of an architect’s design process, which include precedent analysis, variable exploration, decision‐making, and solution implementation. Students will apply their studies to date while designing an assigned project that explores the form, space, and ordering systems used in design. Emphasis in Design I is placed more upon the path of design and the decision‐making process than on a “polished” solution.
