Advanced Design Seminar

1 Course Unit

ARCH 4020: Advanced Design Seminar builds on projects and student work completed in ARCH 4010: Advanced Design, refining the studio projects in consideration of real-life constraints and opportunities. It allows students to develop in-depth research and design skills in partnership with community groups and/or industry partners. Addressing questions of design feasibility that extend beyond the scope of an architecture design studio, students will learn how issues such as economics, financing, constructability, design standards, zoning, and building codes ultimately impact the evolution of a project. Students will sharpen their communication and representation skills while creatively responding to the constraints and opportunities inherent within the practice of architecture. Spring 1 Course Unit
