Architecture 1

The Architecture class explores the architectural design process looking at form, function, proportion, scale, and space. Students will investigate and learn about specific architectural requirements for public and private spaces as well as the psychology of space. Great emphasis is placed on creativity, graphic presentation, and computer skills. In addition, students will be able to lean on their experience of hand sketching. 2D and 3D assignments including architectural model making will be a part of their investigation. Designed to make connections with the real world, a great emphasis is placed on learning about socially responsible and sustainable architecture.
