4.152 Architecture Design Core Studio II

()
Prereq: 4.151
Units: 0-12-9

Builds on Core I skills and expands the constraints of the architectural problem to include issues of urban site logistics, cultural and programmatic material (inhabitation and human factors), and long span structures. Two related projects introduce a range of disciplinary issues, such as working with precedents, site, sectional and spatial proposition of the building, and the performance of the outer envelope. Emphasizes the clarity of intentions and the development of appropriate architectural and representational solutions. Limited to first-year MArch students.

4.153 Architecture Design Core Studio III

()
Prereq: 4.152
Units: 0-12-9
https://architecture.mit.edu/subject/fall-2018-4153
Design: TRF1-5 (3-415) or TRF1-5 (3-415) or TRF1-5 (3-415)

Interdisciplinary approach to design through studio design problems that engage the domains of building technology, computation, and the cultural/historical geographies of energy. Uses different modalities of thought to examine architectural agendas for 'sustainability'; students position their work with respect to a broader understanding of the environment and its relationship to society and technology. Students develop a project with a comprehensive approach to programmatic organization, energy load considerations, building material assemblies, exterior envelope and structure systems. Limited to second-year MArch students.
