Course Description
Assists "third-year architectural students" in building a solid foundation in the architectural design process:
concepts, case studies, site analysis, and ordering systems; applies spatial analysis and relates it to functions and
project requirements; promotes critical and analytical thinking; improves conceptual thinking, design skills, and
spatial formation through a small architectural project on a real site.
