COURSE DESCRIPTION

Architecture is a system of order

This course covers the fundamental elements of architecture.

Elements of Architecture are the basic structural and systematic order used to make architecture

This course is also a traditional design studio and it introduces formal and spatial visual design concepts.

Two and three dimensional design problems that required engineering thinking and simulations are resolved during the class.

 Drawing and modeling  are used as investigation and expressive techniques.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Be able to cultivate an understanding of the elements of form, structure, volume and the perception of form.  Be able to evaluate the design process used and the proposed solution. Be able to revise the design process and develop solutions based upon the evaluation performed.
