ENV 101: Foundations of Design I
This course is a design studio introducing formal and spatial visual design concept and principles, strategies and systems related to the design of the built environment. Two- and three-dimensional problems are introduced, processes studied and solutions evaluated. Examples exhibited in the natural environment are referenced and applied to inform these processes. Drawing and modeling techniques are developed as investigative tools, representational and expressive visual media.
ENV 102: Foundations of Design II
This course is a design studio introducing environmental, architectural and societal design considerations. Two- and three-dimensional problems are introduced, processes studied and solutions evaluated. Principles of how a process and solution to a design problem is derived and influenced by the physical laws of nature; derived by the physical materials and methods of working with those materials; human and natural environmental factors; and physical dimensions and activities with the human cultural, political and social environment. These topics and processes are also investigated in their inter-relationship to sustainable design considerations and objectives.
ARC 201: Architectural Design I
This course is a design studio of small scale architectural projects that explore the development of space and form through the influences of functional/social programs and materiality/structure/construction systems situated within a limited site context. Emphasis is placed on internally driven forces and relationships as primary influences within the design process to generate architectural design solutions. Comprehensive analysis and research of significant architecture precedents and building types additionally inform the process for the design problems.
ARC 202: Architectural Design 2
This course is a design studio of medium-scale architectural projects investigating the development of space and form through the influences of the existing context and environment, including cultural, geography, scale, private/public concerns, historical precedents, social and cultural conditions, and pertinent planning guidelines. Strategies in sustainability and lighting are also studied and applied to the architectural projects within urban environments. Emphasis is placed on the externally driven forces and relationships as primary influences within the design process to generate architectural design solutions that are contextual and responsive to the immediate and larger contextual environment.
