ARCH 107 : Undergraduate Design Communications I, Pixel Perfect
DC I explores a wide range of approaches to drawing and introduces tools and methodologies that are part of an architect’s essential skill set. This course prompts engagement with the materiality and substance of drawings as physical artifacts of thinking processes. A hybridization of analog and digital techniques is the core focus of weekly projects, each building upon the last. Group discussions and critiques encourage a discourse on strategies to effectively communicate, analyze, and develop design.
DIGITAL AND ANALOG SAMPLES : PIXEL PERFECT
Introduction to the fundamentals of digital imaging by overlaying basic raster operations in Adobe Photoshop with multiple rounds of printing, sketching, scanning, and photographing.

ARCH 207 : Design Communications III
Students in this course did not designing buildings. Instead, they thought through the process of designing buildings through exercises requiring a rigorous method of working with the digital platforms of Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and others to examine and describe geometry, form, and character. Emphasis was placed on developing precision in the representational process through the translation of digital work into physical drawings and models.

ARCH 215/505 : Site Design, Planning, and Ecology
This cross-listed graduate/undergraduate course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of site design and the analysis of topography, soils, climate, solar, wind, thermodynamics, water management, trees/vegetation, and accessibility as environmental design factors. The course format includes lectures, site visits, and workshops to develop a better understanding of the complex relationship between building and landscape.
Ecology serves as a point of departure in class discussions to observe, analyze, comprehend, and interpret the system of relationships established through architecture and its physical environment at a variety of scales. The course focuses on the fundamental processes of natural systems and the acquisition and implementation of specific tools and technologies that serve to inform the design process in architecture, particularly in relation to site.
