ARCH 210
Seattle Campus
Projects, lectures, demonstrations, and exercises to develop skill in freehand drawing and an understanding of drawing as a vital means to see, analyze, and represent essential aspects of the visual environment.
Class description
210 The first studio [210] will focus on specifically non-architectural objects with inherent parallel architectural logics. Representational work will focus on multiple media, including drawings, descriptive geometry [plan, section, axon], collage, process sketching, paraline drawings. A parallel rationale for working in multiple media is to begin to develop a thinking that will facilitate using digital media.
