    Description
    Students develop creative, conceptual and analytical skills by creating simple to complex two and three dimensional projects based on nature systems and structural integrity. Connections between movement, rhythm, cycle, kinematics and mathematical formulation are explored in class as a foundation for smart spaces. Students will learn to properly communicate architectural concepts through drawings, renderings, physical models, and computer 3-D modeling. Form and space design principles, theories, order and methodologies are explored and incorporated into student projects. Process and procedures are applied to personal innovative projects inspired by Gaudi, Buckminster Fuller, Frank Lloyd Wright and Peter Eiseman. The profession of architecture and its relationship to others for the life cycle and sustainable synergy in the AEC Industry (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) are defined. This course is critical for students interested in pursuing a higher degree in architectural or a related design field. Students will also create an e-portfolio of their work. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
