Thinking through Making

Catalog description

This course considers the architectural model as an Interrogatory, exploratory, documentary, and/ or revelatory device through historical and contemporary lenses. Intended for both majors and non-majors, this introduction to the role of making in architectural production will provide students with a foundational understanding of the ways in which architects interpret, understand, and develop their work through tactile engagement with the material world. A focus on three dimensional representation encourages students to consider the work of others while building individual skills in, and familiarity with, the workshop as a place of production, exploration, and possibility.
