Tools and Techniques I: Introduction to Architecture Thinking. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

This course is the first of a required two-semester sequence; it introduces students to diverse tools and techniques of architecture thinking in diverse spheres of architecture culture through weekly lectures and recitations. Here, thinking is a critical disciplinary practice that parallels architecture as a practice of making, and this course is dedicated to fostering a broad understanding of what it means to “do” architecture. This fall semester course in tools and techniques of architecture thinking is followed by a spring semester of tools and techniques of architecture making.
