ARCH 2100 - Studio 1: Foundations of Architecture
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2024
The beginning of the architectural specialization sequence, this course introduces students to the basic strategies and techniques of architectural design. This studio focuses on concepts of medium-scale building design, siting, and climate. Through multiple design exercises, students learn how these factors assist in shaping buildings. Recommended corequisite: ARCH 2115.
ARCH 3100 - Studio 2: Intermediate Architecture
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2024
Dealing with problems at an intermediate level of complexity this architecture studio emphasizes the interaction of form, programmatic use, human behavior and context in creating structure. Studio options may include a client-based community engaged project, real world applications, and/or result in a physical product. Students work across analog and digital platforms to produce high quality and portfolio-worthy work. Recommended corequisite: ARCH 3114.

ENVD 1140 - Studio 2: Fundamentals of Planning and Urban Design
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2023
Through a small-scale urban planning and design project, students explore solutions to challenges in dynamic urban systems. Builds on knowledge and skills gained in the introductory studios to explore the human and environmental dimensions of intertwined systems within the built environment.
ENVD 2003 - Ecological Systems in Design
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2024
Introduces the essential principles and concepts of ecology as they relate to the design and understanding of the built environment. Students explore interactions between people and nature, the design of resilient ecological systems and ways that the built world is influenced by its environment.
