Description:

This first class in the Design Media sequence introduces students to "Drawing Cultures" – the fundamentals of digital techniques, drawing, and representation for architects. Building familiarity and fluency with orthographic drawing types, the course presents contemporary drawing techniques in the lineage of established canons of techniques and representation. The course emphasizes the idea that the act of representation is crucial and reciprocal to the design process and is in fact fundamental in constructing the final endeavor. Specific value is placed in establishing critically informed positions towards representation, as well as clarity in the choice of medium and method in support of design intent.
