This first semester of the Undergraduate Architecture studio sequence introduces the formal, spatial and tectonic characteristics of architectural design. Supported by analyses of precedents, the studio develops a design process built on the coherent correlation among spatial, structural and organizational systems. Design projects explore how basic programs can generate form, and how spatial constraints can create design opportunities. The goal is to develop a set of well-controlled tools and methods, which help to inform and structure design.
