IARC 241 - IA Process & Practice I: Design Fundamentals (3)

A transitional architectural design studio course that builds upon the fundamental elements and principals of design introduced in ART 101 and ART 102. In particular, this course links the abstract compositional concepts of form and space introduced in ART 102 with the pragmatic requirements of programming, space planning, and schematic design of the habitable environment (user needs, human factors, context, building components, codes, etc.), while retaining aesthetic strategies of meaning and purpose, and considering relationships between the body and the design. For majors in pre-architecture or interior design only. Technical/studio format. Prereqs: ART 101, ART 102, ART 120, and ART 222 Offered: Fall.
