Designing with Architectural Principles + Materiality
This assignment is designed to stimulate thinking and discussion about the qualities of space through architectural conceptualization, focusing on design intentions and objectives. It highlights the importance of crafting and making, using drawings and models as critical tools in the design process. Students will develop the ability to design a simple structure through the use of architectonics and demonstrate a basic understanding of materiality and detailing to capture the experiential qualities of their design. This approach underscores the integral role of hands-on creation in realizing architectural concepts.
