The objectives of this course are to assist students to expand upon the knowledge, skills and ideas that have nurtured others in architectural studies and to develop their own personal design skills. Students will learn to incorporate their individual attitudes and intentions as they relate to spatial, contextual, structural and phenomenological concepts into the design process. Students who complete 'Architectural Design: Intentions' will learn several techniques for displaying their ideas, develop models and master free-hand and hard-line drawing methods.
