The first in a sequence of four core design studios, this course is based around a series of skill-building exercises which train students in architectonics, spatial composition, diagramming techniques, architectural theory, passive solar design and principles of materials and fabrication. All exercises are designed to develop the student's abilities to translate spatial concepts into physical design proposals.

This is the first of a four-semester sequence that examines the physical forms of world architecture and related arts. It analyzes the built environment in response to place, politics, culture, and the people who use it. This semester students will study architecture from the Neolithic period to the 14th century in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Two lectures and an advanced seminar are required weekly.
3 hr./wk.
An investigation into the systems, techniques, and materials employed in the making of architecture. Focus on case studies in concrete, steel and other construction materials.

Building upon the lessons learned in Digital Techniques, students sharpen their critical representation skills with a series of multi-media drawing and model-making exercises.
4 hr./wk.
The second core studio builds upon the experience of the previous studio through a series of increasingly complex design problems. Using Manhattan as a laboratory, students are introduced to the urban context and explore a range of building types with nuanced and complex programs. Through the rigorous study of building precedents and site visits, students address the role of architecture in the public realm.
