ARC 182 After taking this course, students will have strong 2D drawing and 3D modeling skills, as well as the ability to leverage digital tools toward the production of more speculative modes of illustration and representation

15

Context & Atmosphere -Leverage digital tools to produce a variety of visual results and happy accidents -Exploring topographic fields, or more simply put, artificial landscape drawings -Exploring entourage -Combine the knowledge gained throughout the course to compose an illustrative axon image

16

17

Proto Architectures -Critically assess design work and strengthen formal and organizational strategies -Mixing a variety of techniques explored in the course toward the production of “porous form” models -Tasking with studying a chunk of their porous form model from a partial facade -Adding structural techniques to our proto-architectural tool kit

18

19

Object & Taxonomies -Develop fluidity in digital communication -To basic 3D geometry creation in Rhino -Discussing 3D geometric logic and documentation -Delving further into the topic of analytical drawings by familiarizing students with developable surfaces, serial sectioning, and kit-of-parts drawings

20

21

Firures & Fields -Apply basic methods of controlling geometry and representation -Introducing figures, field conditions, and the manipulation of 2D elements in 3D space within rhino -Creating multiple readings of a single graphic field drawing -Introducing geometric control
