Architecture Design exposes students to tools and methods needed to engage in the fundamentals of architectural design. As such, conceptual and critical approached to making, analyzing, and exploring architecture are highly encouraged. Advance your design thinking through curiosity, experimentation, and the iterative design process.

Students will engage in conceptual and theoretical discourse both inside and outside of the studio environment. Opportunities are created for students to develop a personal architectural proposition by using digital and analog documents; plan, elevations, sections, axonometric drawings, analytical diagrams, digital and physical models. Students primarily work with Autodesk in both Revit and AutoCAD.
