Design II

Catalog description

A continuation of CIVL 221 Design I , this course focuses on critical thinking as it relates to the idea of spacemaking as well as addressing multiple design issues with an emphasis on problem solving. Students will concentrate on developing spatial relationships into functional built forms. Students will explore and document their work through 2-D, 3-D and model making, spatial relationships, and the build environments. Students will also engage in complete design projects which will vary in size, scale and context. Each project will be set in context, which will allow students to investigate, analyze and develop architectural solutions. Lectures will supplement the studio environment to assist in the development and communication of architectural ideas. Student presentations and critique of the body of work will allow for interaction and form the basis for architectural dialogue. Pre-requisite(s): CIVL 221 Design I . Pre- or co- requisite(s): CIVL 223 Introduction to Building Technology .
