ARCH 11A [TBA]
Introduction to Visual Representation and Drawing
Introductory studio course: theories of representation and the use of several visual means, including freehand drawing and digital media, to analyze and convey ideas regarding the environment. Topics include contour, scale, perspective, color, tone, texture, and design.
ARCH 11B [TBA]
Introduction to Design
Introduction to design concepts and conventions of graphic representation and model building as related to the study of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and city planning. Students draw in plan, section, elevation, axonometric, and perspective and are introduced to digital media. Design projects address concepts of order, site analysis, scale, structure, rhythm, detail, culture, and landscape.
ARCH 100C [TBA]
Architectural Design III
This is a studio course in architectural design. Students work on individual and group design projects that build on topics from Architecture 100B with additional integration of conditions pertinent to architectural production that may include architectural precedents, context, landscape and urban issues, envelope, performance, structure, and tectonics in the design of buildings.
ARCH 100D [TBA]
Architectural Design IV
Students work on individual and/or group design projects that build on topics from previous studios with additional integration of conditions pertinent to architectural production that may include architectural precedents, context, landscape and urban issues, envelope, structure, and tectonics in the design of buildings. It may also include relevent and pertinent social, cultural, and technological issues facing architecture and design.
ARCH 108 [TBA]
Architectural Internship
An intensive and structured exposure to the professional practice, using the resources of practicing architects' offices as the "laboratory." The seminar discussion focus on understanding how design happens, how projects are managed and how buildings are constructed.
ARCH 109 [TBA]
Special Topics in Architectural Design
Selected topics in the theories and concepts of architectural design.
ARCH 124A [TBA]
Introduction to Design
Introduction to design concepts and conventions of graphic representation and model building as related to the study of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and city planning. Students draw in plan, section, elevation, axonometric, and perspective and are introduced to digital media. Design projects address concepts of order, site analysis, scale, structure, rhythm, detail, culture, and landscape.
ARCH 129 [TBA]
Special Topics in Digital Design Theories and Methods
Topics cover advanced and research-related issues in digital design and New Media, related to architecture.

Summer [IN]STITUTE: [IN]ARCH
An intensive six-week program designed to immerse students in the foundational theories and practices of architectural design. The program is structured as an introduction to studio culture and architectural discours, and serves as a vehicle for further academic pursuits within the field. Students start with first principles, investigating what it means to "speak" architecture through representation, to literally describe a form into a state of being. Architecture is a philosophical as well as technical pursuit, with a deep disciplinary history that participants are exposed to through a series of essays and exercises.

Summer [IN]STITUTE: [IN]ARCH ADV
With an eye on the fundamentals of architectural education and social justice, [IN]ARCH ADV looks intensely at the City through a cinematic framework. The course is an advanced architectural studio formulated to push the boundaries of architectural thinking and design. The architecture studios are formal, intensive and structured for experimentation with physical ideas - a virtual space where participants transform thoughts and ideas into form. The assignments place emphasis on an iterative process deployed through exercises in montage, render sequences, visual narratives, cinematic sequence and film/frame space.
Six weeks of cumulative work lead to an architectural invention in San Francisco - not a defined building that reinforces traditional notions of ownership, but a space with shared programmatic concerns that scaffold social and environmental justice practices and structures.
