Architectural Design I

Instructors: Galo Canizares + Anali Gharakhani · ARCH 1301

This course will introduce students to principles and techniques used to design, conceptualize, build, discuss, and organize architecture. Though wide-ranging and subjective in practice, the principles discussed will be framed as the main rules that architecture has followed for a major part of its history and continues to use in the contemporary moment. In other words, though it is understood that at times rules must be broken, this course will focus on the rules themselves so that students will be well-prepared to work both within and outside of them in the future. We will explore what the prevalent rules of the discipline are and how they are used to bring architecture forth into the world.
