Course Description
This course will explore the role of site and context in the development and design of architectural spaces, interior and exterior, and the impact that the site has on the design intention. Students will begin by learning how to evaluate and document site conditions for specific architectural projects. These projects will then be used to allow students to explore how the built environment relates to its surrounding through formal attributes, in addition to finishes and material choices. Course content will also include considerations around solar patterns, acoustic factors, environmental conditions, and sustainability standards.
Registration in this course is restricted to students admitted to the Diploma in Design Formation.
