Spring (2004). 3 credits.
Satisfies "Architectural Science and Technology" elective requirement for undergraduate architecture students.
Tuesdays, 12:20 - 2:15 pm, Room TBA. Prerequisite: ARCH 262 or equivalent. Limited enrollment. J. Ochshorn.

Architecture is represented schematically before it is built. Between this initial conceptualization and a building's construction is a process of design development culminating in a set of contractual documents which include drawings and specifications.
Through a series of exercises and a final project, this course will examine the process of design development and the logical structure of "working drawings." At the same time, the production of working drawings will be pursued as a creative design process -- one in which a kind of tension emerges between the various "fictions" of the design and the "reality" of the construction.

Course Requirements and Grading

Final grades will be based on the following:

1. Several short "working drawing" exercises
2. Final "working drawing" project (your design)
3. Class participation
