ARCH 4090 - Architectural Case Studies


The intent of this course is to teach students the means for investigating buildings coherently, rationally, and interpretively to understand the technical and cultural knowledge embedded within works of architecture as well as the dynamic between the built and natural environments. A select number of contemporary buildings are analyzed through drawing, modeling and scholarly writing to ascertain the multiple systems that are inherent to a work of architecture including program, material systems, circulation, site and environment.

This course is required of all first-year architecture undergraduates in the B.Arch. program.
