EDAD530 Architectural Design III 3cr

Development of architectural design skills that address the issues of housing both locally and globally viewed through a lens of cultural differences in typical / minimum housing sizes and varied user profiles. The coursework includes investigation of elements of urban tissue such as plazas, squares, street edges and systems of city form understood through street patterns and greenways followed up in a site study focused on the primary design project for the studio. Students explore needs, values, norms and spatial patterns as a means to sensitize them to diverse physical and cultural environments that culminates in the design of a mixed-use housing project in a local urban context.
