Overview
Students will continue to develop skills introduced in Architecture Studio I by drafting 3D explorations of interior and exterior space with the use of technical instruments, freehand drawings, and computer-generated studies. The particular focus of this course is the step-by-step design of residential units, from hand sketching to computer generated design. Particular attention will be devoted to methodologies to develop design house projects with the use of the visual interpretation by using different techniques, assisted drawing, and 3D design software, such as Revit. Students will design rooms, elevations, floor plans, and site plans. Ultimately, they will be able to design a building project, from foundations to the roof. The student's final project will be the design of a community place: a place for the homeless of Florence. In addition, students will also get an overview on groundbreaking house designs by Le Corbusier, Wright, and Hadid. Prerequisites: Architecture Studio I or equivalent.
