ARPL 201 Architectural Foundations III: Design Analysis & Synthesis
In this course, students will learn basic theories of graphic, architectural, and urban design composition and form, and will be introduced to basic process of design and design thinking. They will then use these theories and processes to assess the design intent of existing architectural and urban design projects and to describe, diagram, and document design intent graphically (2D and 3D, manually and digitally), orally, and in writing. The intent of the course is to prepare students for later design studios, where they will need to be able to think about and describe the design intent of their own projects.
