Introduction to Integrated Design: Course Description
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Architecture sponsors this OpenCourseWare, titled 'Introduction to Integrated Design,' which investigates several fundamental architectural issues by viewing them through a series of unique design examples. The course is given in a lecture format by Professor Angela Watson. Students will learn how to use a variety of materials and will study the relationship between architecture and associated disciplines. To enhance their comprehension and ability to apply course concepts, students are required to create several projects, including designing a pedestrian bridge. Some other projects that are designed to clarify the course themes include building a guest pavilion for a house and developing a modern architecture chronology.
The materials for this course include downloadable lecture notes and assignments, as well as a list of student projects with accompanying images. If you would like to take advantage of this free OpenCourseware, visit the integrated design course page.
