Architectural Design Studio III (P)

ARET297C - Architectural Design Studio III The student chooses a project for the term to design from a collection of instructor-approved projects requiring real site considerations. By discussing the relevant design criteria with the instructor and selection of a hypothetical client outside of class, the student develops and refines the program of space requirements and acquires an appreciation of the in-depth functionality of architecture, especially space adjacency requirements. The study includes an analysis of a site, structure, codes, circulation, material usage, and sustainability and energy considerations. Schematic andpreliminary designs, with an emphasis on sketching for study purposes, presentations drawings and construction documents are produced by CAD (Computer Aided Drafting & Design) Autodesk software. Students build a study and final model, and are required to submit a progress report. An emphasis is placed on a thorough coordination of the work, application of current technology and application of the knowledge gained in the ARET program. (Prerequisites: ARET 202C, CVET 220C, CVET 240C and ENGL 125C) Note: This course is integrated with ARET 250C and ARET 270C, therefore, it is recommended that they are all taken together.
