This course has two required components. Students need to register for both when signing up for this course. There is a studio section for the asynchronous portions of the course and a workshop section for the required, synchronous components of the course. The meeting pattern that appears on the workshop section represents the actual times during which students will need to attend the synchronous portions of this course.This class is required and runs concomitantly with Architecture Studio 2. This class emphasizes architectural communication, representation and design methodology through the use of visualization techniques with a focus on graphic representation, 2D drawing, 3D modeling, and graphic design for portfolio development. Students will be introduced to 3D digital media concepts and techniques with a focus on the fundamental aspects of the computer aided design and digital fabrication processes. Framed by a general introduction to digital media theory, students will gain fluency in a variety of software applications for the purpose of developing technical and visual proficiencies to be integrated into the architectural design process.
