ARC 4341 Architectural Design 4.1 (5)

Prerequisite: ARC 3325, ARC 3463. The First Term Of Fourth Year Emphasizes Accountability In Terms Of Working From A Theoretical Position Grounded In History And Precedent And From The Idea Of The Detail As A Form Determinant. For Example, The Class Might Study The Work And Writings Of An Architect And Then Utilize Their Theoretical Positions As A Framework For Their Designs. Another Approach Would Be To Study A General Design Method, Such As Alexander’s Pattern Language, And Apply It To A Specific Project. The Course Has An Out-of-town Trip To See Examples Of The Work Being Studied.
