ARCH 5120 — Comprehensive Design Studio
6 semester hoursGraduateStudioNUpath CEusually offered: springtypical days: T/FBostonTraditional
Focuses on the materials and making of architecture. Considers architectural connections at all scales, from the nut and bolt to the scale of a door or window to the scale of the whole building and the city. Grounds design proposals upon a tectonic strategy, unlike traditional design studios that produce a schematic design before considering constructional ideas.
