Design III

Catalog description

This course will focus on public spaces and the issues of planning relating to the urban context, with an understanding of human behavior in space. Students will engage in a semester-long project designed to address program, site and context. The project will require critical thinking as it relates to historical, environmental and social context. The investigation and inquiry into the projects will require the students to make critical design decisions relating to technology, structure and aesthetics. Lectures will supplement the studio environment to assist in the development and communication of architectural ideas. Student presentations and critiques will allow for interaction and development and form the basis for architectural dialogue. Pre-requisite(s): CIVL 225 Design II and CIVL 223 Introduction to Building Technology .
