River Walk
De ning space
Investigate the same principles and concepts now in multiple viewpoints. Solid, Void, Implied Spaces, De ned Spaces, Sequence, Hierarchy, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Slot Conditions are all to be included in this project. This project also operates as an Introduction of basic functional conditions of the architectural assemblage through the establishment of contingencies for place, scale, tectonic elements, promenade architectural and spatial organization, which are interpreted as generators of architectural / urban space.

The River-Walk in San Antonio is used as a Place and as a Site condition for students to project their individual approaches, and to translate their own interpretations of the notion of architecture as a consequence of reading the city.
Learning Objectives
+ Investigate De ned Space
+ Investigate Implied Space
+ Investigate Hierarchy / Primary, secondary, tertiary spaces.
+ Investigate Slot Conditions: Continue and Terminated.
+ Investigate Ordering systems / The Grid
+ Resolve elements in the translation from Two to Three Dimensions
+ Investigate Sequence / Inside / Outside
+ Investigate Perceptions in Three-Dimensional space
+ Explore the connection of Three-Dimensional spaces within the void
+ Investigate Scale
+ Investigate Site / Neighbors as context
+ Analyze, evaluate, and comprehend the context of architecture which includes site and urban location, but also the cultural, societal, historical, and theoretical context of architecture.
+ Understanding the use of analytical methods through precedent analysis as a conceptual base to develop a project using a critical and rational method.
+ Understand and implement the various ordering principles of architecture and how they can in uence design (Operations of Design)
