ARC 511DIS - Architecture Media 1

This course will expose students to various strategies and methods of architectural representation. Students will explore techniques to communicate spatial conditions and concepts, including forms of drawing, image production, and model-making. Targeted exercises in using both digital and manual tools will help students develop and enhance abilities to analyze and translate spatial observations through processes of visualization and fabrication. Beyond the development of skills, this course will help students discover more nuanced ways of perceiving and interpreting the built environment. Through engaging with theoretical frameworks, this course will challenge students to think critically about representational techniques, and will demonstrate how modes of representation are connected to the design process.
