Architecture Studio

Catalog description

ARCH 6031 is a core graduate studio focusing on contemporary architectural interventions in a historic context. The studio develops deeper understandings of urban analysis and fundamental issues of the regulatory environment (such as zoning and life safety codes) to ground a mixed use building proposal within an existing, historical urban context. Students also explore issues of programming and building use within complex contexts, as well as techniques of site analysis and the insightful development of a site strategy for specific architectural proposals. The studio also serves as a reinforcement of fundamental techniques in two and three dimensional representation and preparation for meeting presentation objectives for conceptual, technical and strategic elements of a project.
