M. ARCH Studio 2

Catalog description

This studio builds on the introductory design skills acquired in ARCH 601. Students continue to develop critical design thinking skills and a language of effective visual communication through the fabrication of drawings and physical models. The theme of this studio is the examination of the anatomy of architecture through the critical analysis of canonical precedents. The first part of the semester is devoted to in-depth analysis of canonical buildings. The second part involves the students in devising a design intervention that engages the studied precedent. All exercises consider the translation of spatial concepts into physical design proposals.
