ARCH 210

This course is the continued development of design vocabulary and design process with emphasis on further development of architectural projects considering program, site and context reinforced by historical precedent; use of materials and structure and their impact on design. Specific emphasis will be on conceptualization and the importance of the building 'parti'; traditional model making; appropriate use of both traditional graphic representation as well as the computer as a design tool during the design process. Students will complete written research papers on design problems and historical precedent as part of the exploration process. Offered fall semester only.
