Architecture is not just about forms, material and implementation of styles; good architecture is based on concepts and ideas. This first in a sequence of design studios is arranged about a series of design explorations that require you to think conceptually; frame an argument; materialize ideas; and clearly articulate, both verbally and visually, your design intent. On completion, you develop a personal toolkit of terms, concepts, drawing techniques and presentation skills that can serve as a solid base for future personal, academic and professional projects.
