Architectural Design

This second core studio explores the theme of domestic architecture through the design and construction of dwelling space. During the first half of the term, a series of analysis and design projects explore the typological precedents, programmatic organization, formal composition, and construction methodology of individual and multiple-unit housing. This work forms the conceptual background for the work in the latter half of the term—the collaborative design and construction of the Building Project, an a≠ordable house for a nonprofit developer in New Haven. Prerequisite: 1011a.
