Student Participation/Presentations

This class will be a combination of lecture/discussion with a project studio format. The first hour shall comprise review and discussion of course readings. The second hour will consist of in-class exercises to small design problems followed by short presentation and discussion.

  • In-class exercises/presentations are intended to get you to work creatively with others in the class on a design concept, to share ideas, and to integrate ideas from the readings/discussion.
  • Homework will be a larger or more in-depth version of the in-class exercise, and will also be presented in class. People can work in teams or alone.
