Credit Hours: 6 · Undergraduate Upper-Level

This second comprehensive studio furthers knowledge of building assemblies and tectonics. It introduces students to material practices and construction principles and advances a critical view of resource use, energy, and materials involved in construction. Working on a synthetic design problem, students will learn an integrated and collaborative approach to building design and gain the ability to meet relevant aesthetic, performative, and code-required criteria.
