A46 ARCH 323BArchitectural Representation II (M.Arch 3)3.0 Units
Description:The course examines the practice of representation in today's state of ubiquitous computing. Computing has reshaped Architecture representation, questioning the edge between representation and reality through the form of images, integration of construction, material relationships, and the ability to manage complex information. The class equips students with the fundamentals of computing and constantly seeks to question how this technology would shape the built environment. The course is divided into three distinct sections that examine various aspects of computing in architectural representation. The first section instills the basic of Nurbs modeling in Rhinoceros software. Through the study of architectural drawings, notations and inscriptions are studied and transcribed into a system of points, lines and surfaces. The system of relationships between points, lines and surfaces are manipulated through a series of transformative operations to create an accumulated field of volume. The second section explores the potential of image creation as a powerful simulation of spatial effects. A series of atmospheric variations are introduced to produce differences in an occupant's spatial experience. Light, colors, textures, material deviation, camera angles are some of the strategies employed to generate sensations beyond the visual. The third section develops geometrical responses through variation of space to context relationship. Parameters are first identified and assigned as forces to calibrate the system of relationships between points, lines and surfaces that result in the inherent geometry. Variations in these forces would create geometrical variations, making visible space to context relationships. Architectural Representation II is the second in the series of the two required representation classes offered in the graduate program. Each student is required to have a laptop computer.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
