Through a series of increasingly complex exercises, students discover how spaces are made. The studio method focuses on the development of the visual and verbal skills needed to approach conceptual and three-dimensional problem solving intelligently. Students will begin to understand basic design skills as well as develop a vocabulary for expressing their intentions. The design studios employ a dual approach: analysis and synthesis. Beginning with analysis of specific buildings from the canon of twentieth-century architecture, students learn how the designer applied a vocabulary of visual concepts to built form. Complementing the design studios is a series of architectural history courses that employ New York City as a museum without walls. Through numerous site visits, students learn about shaping human habitats, from rooms to houses, to public buildings, and to cities. They learn to classify environments based on era, scale, purpose, style, and context.
