Form + Space is a 3-credit studio, open to students from all disciplines. It serves as an introduction to fundamental notions of architectural form and space and their visual and material articulations. Interconnected exercises frame the ways in which form, structure, and surface are related to spatial and perceptual experience, and the scale and movements of the body. Form + Space studio examines strategies of making, and the different ways in which we perceive and understand three-dimensional space, the built forms and materiality that define it. The course explores the effect of culture and program on various spatial practices and encourages students' engagement with their own bodies as spatial, experiential, and cultural referents. The studio is strongly recommended for all Architecture and Interior Design students.
