Studio on form, space and composition. Students are required to think of architecture from the “outside-in� approach, with focus being placed on the form of architecture and its composition. An emphasis will be placed on the compositional aspects of spatial designexpression, language, intent, dynamics etc. and their use as tools of concept and functional accommodation. Three-dimensional models play an important role in design development and students will be encouraged to think spatially. Issues of meaning, message and symbolism will be discussed and applied. A critical method of working with architectural precedent through analysis of various works of architects, as well as contemporary design theory, will be reviewed and analyzed to be used as a premise for design.
