This studio course explores conceptual design through a series of elemental architectural exercises. The design studio builds on the strong foundation of the freshman studio sequence as students complete a series of short exercises. Each exercise explores basic spatial, material, structural, and site concepts in the making of architecture. Students develop increasingly complex programmatic and circulatory
solutions while considering site and context as factors in appropriate design responses. They also continue to increase their understanding of basic building systems, materials, structure, and connections.
