ARCH 2800 - Architectural Design Studio 1


This course introduces students to design as a way of thinking, creating, and making through a series of short projects. The projects stress critical and creative thinking and invention, interdisciplinary collaboration, observation and perception, communication and visualization. Using sketching, photography, model making, and computing students pursue open-ended investigations of form, space, materials, and the ideas that both generate and are generated by them.

Any student receiving a second ‘D’ in any design studio must repeat the second design studio and receive a grade of ‘C’ or higher to proceed to the next design studio.
