This studio introduces fundamental knowledge about the interface between buildings and sites. Studio projects, lectures and field trips are utilized. Drawing conventions, and terminology will be emphasized as students investigate topics ranging from site representation, topography, orientation and circulation.  The study of historic and current precedents, ecological and human behaviors, as well as the study of systems, materials and construction logics are reinforced throughout the course as well as the environmental, social, and cultural dimensions of building/site design and arrangement. Emphasis is placed on three-dimensional conceptualization, elements of design, site development, architectural history, color in design, computer generated 3D rendering, basic and advanced model building and time management skills.
