Geometry and Architectural Representation

ARC 206 introduces the significance of geometry in architectural design and construction, along with the origins, methods, and contemporary implications of representation in visual culture. Through a series of drawing and model-making exercises, students will propose novel understandings and interpretations of architectonics by frustrating and reordering architectural elements. Students learn by doing, actively participating in drawing and modeling exercises to construct and analyze forms, to progress beyond the objectification of form toward understanding and evaluating digital representation's capacity to engage with material composition.
