ARCH 495: Design Studio 9

Course Description

The fifth-year fall studio is seen as a “capstone” studio, meaning that your goal is to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the design process, building code, structure and environmental systems gleaned from your previous four years of education. We will focus on a single project over the course of the semester, and develop the design into a set of professional working drawings. In addition to traditional floor plans, elevations and sections, you will also be asked to develop reflected ceiling plans (with lighting and schematic ductwork), enlarged detail plans (stairs and restrooms), wall sections and construction details.
