Course Description |
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 logical structure of these "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.
