ARTS 329(F) Architectural Design II
This year the design studio investigates the process of conceiving and transforming ideas into architectural propositions and dynamically changing built environments. Design research assignments during site visits examine user-experience and ambiance, design theories and methodologies, real estate development and cityscapes. Observational techniques are developed with hand drawings, photographs and videos as research tools. Several short design projects introduce scales that range from the architectural drawing to the urban environment, from smart materials to advanced buildings. Students are encouraged to engage in multidisciplinary team work between users, investors, brand identity experts, builders and engineers.
Format: design studio, site visits, lectures, readings. Evaluation will be based on progress in developing creative problem solving skills and novel design solutions presented through sketches, models and drawings, a portfolio that can be used to apply for graduate study. Visiting critics will participate in critiques also via internet. Lab fee. Prerequisites: ArtS 220; ArtH 262 highly recommended. Enrollment limit: 15 (expected: 15).
Hour: JUKOLA
