Monday Class Options:

WTNG 102 - Honors: How Writing Works: 10:00 AM -10:50 AM
This first-year course helps students develop a conceptual map of how writing works by building their rhetorical and writing-process knowledge and by fostering genre and discourse community awareness. Students draft a minimum of four revised essays and complete a course portfolio.

Wednesday Class Options:

ARCH 114 - Architectural Design Core Studio II: 2:00pm-4:50pm
This course continues the first semester's focus on elemental design principles and visual communication but initiates a departure from the abstract realm of design into the tangible world of built architectural form. The projects and their supporting lectures examine the language of architecture through exercises exploring fundamental architectural design principles: spatial organizations, circulation and movement, simple structural and enclosure systems, spatial articulation, site response and solar orientation. To ensure clarity and understanding, all building programs are simple but evocative, and project sites vary from rural to urban and from flat to sloped. 

Friday Class Options:

ARCH 281 - Architectural Analysis I: 11:00 AM - 1:50 PM
The course will introduce beginning students to Architectural Analysis through various media of representation and simulation. Students will engage in drawing, digital image making, and modeling techniques as fundamental tools for documentation, analysis, representation and visual communication. Emphasis will be on learning through architectural precedents and field studies, as a way to understand deeply various buildings and their contexts. Using case studies, students will learn sketching from observation, photographic recording, documentation of field conditions with accuracy, manual and digital drafting, basic digital modeling, digital image manipulation, processing, basic graphic design strategies, portfolio composition and presentation techniques related to architecture in context.
