exercise 1: FORM AND MAKING Students

were asked to make a three

different materials.

The

3�

cubes out of

3

cubes were to touch all eight corners

of a cube, but not necessarily complete the six surfaces.

The

cube was to be fully abstract, able to be placed on any one of its surfaces.

Students

tackled design issues and were asked to

select one of the three preliminary cubes to convert into a 6� cube.

2.4

the new task of the fourth exer-

cise was to combine two elements as well as use two operations. the objective of creating

5 spaces was

still in place as well as the idea of

having an abstract object with no definite orientation.

goal of this exercise was to introduce three charac-

teristics of architecture and the experience of architectural space: scale, movement, and context.

in the first part of the

exercise students were assigned to one of eight buildings on the

Syracuse University campus. In teams they would draw sections, plans, and perspectival images that would suggest the visual experience of the actual building. In the second part of the assignment, students would transform the object produced in exercise 2.4 to create an architectural model of a scale building, which would then be placed on a site in the final part of the exercise.

exercise 4: CASE STUDY Students

were assinged one of ten pieces of archi-

tecture to study.

Students

were to learn the history of the

building as well as the intentions of its contruction. were to diagram concepts of the building such a spacing, formal structure, and so forth.

The

They circulation,

diagrams were

to be analytical represntations of what the students studied.

exercise 5: A PUBLIC AND PRIVATE STUDIO In

the final exercise of the semester, students were asked

to apply the skilled learned and design a dwelling and studio for an artst.

The

live/work studio included a working space, a

living space, and an exibition space. It was important to consider the conditions of publicness and privacy in their studio designs.

Each

student chose a type of artist

(painter,

ect.) to study and design a building for their artist.

The

stu-

dents were also given a site that the building would be located.

the studio space was built to be a part of the gallery when the artist wished for it to be

so. the artist has the option to close of the studio from

the gallery, however the living space is completely private.
