Visual Studies I

Catalog description

The coursework of Visual Studies investigates architectural representation as the primary means for communication and development of an architect's work. Alongside the development of fundamental skills are weekly lectures on the history of representation exploring the introduction of new technologies, drawings relation to culture, and the impact on practice of representational turns. The first semester investigates documenting objects and space through orthographic projection and isometric drawing while also moving between virtual and physical space with means including photogrammetry and 3D printing.
