ARCH 2552. BASIC DESIGN AND DRAWING II. 5 Hours.

Basic Design and Drawing II, the second design studio in the Basic Studies Foundation builds on disciplinary principles of basic design theory, 2D and 3D projects, with emphasis on visual and verbal representation. The course follows established methodologies that develop an understanding of foundational design principles of space, hierarchy, scale, proportion, circulation, and enclosure. Studio exercises and projects develop individual skills and collectively apply analog and digital processes to understand the design of architectural spaces and forms, their constituent parts, and their conditional relationships to the context, as a coherent, inter-related design process. The study of historical and contemporary masterworks of architecture serves to inform the projects toward the role of historical precedent in design. Design communication focuses on accurate orthographic projections, drawing conventions, graphic sensibility, and the exploration of 2D and 3D representation with physical models using a range of techniques, which exhibit understanding of tectonics, craft, materiality, and the representation of ideas. Prerequisite: "C" or better in ARCH 2303, ARCH 2551, and credit or concurrent enrollment in ARCH 2304. Restricted to Architecture-intended and Interior Design-intended majors.
