ARPL 302 Architectural Design III
This course works at a scale larger than the individual building urban design that brings together the spatial concerns of architecture and the public policy issues of planning. It explores how the architectural concerns of the individual building can be adapted for the scale and complexity of the urban condition, looking at spatial strategies for the design of the public corridors and outdoor rooms that define a city, with a focus on appropriate use, building typologies and density for a given location. The course also emphasizes communication skills both verbal and graphic, necessary to express the big idea(s) that generate a solution, indicate the precedents that informed the design, and mine a site for clues to appropriate design.
