This a first semester foundational design and architecture course for students going into architecture or landscape architecture undergraduate studies. The course introduces students to the interpretation and creation of fundamental types of orthographic architectural drawing and three dimensional modeling/ representations. The students practice in these architectural mediums for their assignment work by documenting a small object of their choice, then reimagining it into an occupiable space such as a building or park.
