Description

The course serves as an introduction to architectural literacy. Architecture relies on conventions and disciplinary knowledge to inform the making of new buildings, and the appreciation of existing or historical buildings. The course introduces ways of understanding and representing buildings, and placing them in a physical or cultural context. Techniques used include drawing, modeling, historical research and analytic methods for understanding the organization and underlying principles that give buildings form and meaning.
