Introduction to Architectural Thinking and Representation. Studio introduces the essential concepts about architectural thinking and ways of making through an intensive workshop sequence of analog, physical, and digitally-based, representational methods. These methods are then brought to bear on a design project series, exploring the fundamentals of architectural form and space. Studio: 12 hours per week.
Intermediate Studies in software, fabrication, and technique that leverages the creative, analytical, and generative potential of analog, digital, and physical tools in the design, simulation, construction, and communication of architecture. Lecture: one hour; laboratory: four hours per week.
An overview of the key themes and historical developments in architecture from the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries. Emphasis on Western examples and relationships with earlier and later conditions, including contemporary problematics.
Introduces technological concepts of building and investigates the spatial and formal language of architecture with visual and physical analyses of various building structures and materials through the use of computers, field observations, etc.
Architecture in the Town and City. Students explore architecture within the urban fabric through readings, site research, precedent analysis, structure and material development, and the design of architectural interventions on urban sites. Students develop software and digital fabrication techniques throughout the design, analysis, and visualization of projects. Studio: 12 hours per week.

Investigates modern and late twentieth century architecture as well as current themes and issues in contemporary architecture in relation to their historical context. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
