ARCH 107 : DESIGN COMMUNICATIONS I
This course introduces students to a wide range of fundamental representational
techniques, tools, and methodologies that are part of an architect’s essential skill set. A
series of exercises will develop essential creative skills in analog and digital drawing
while simultaneously exposing drawing as a device through which we are able to see,
understand, create, and communicate with the world around us.

ARCH 207 : DESIGN COMMUNICATIONS III
DC3 focuses on the advancement of digital design as an iterative process. Various modeling types covered are: Explicit Modeling, Nurbs Surface Modeling, Parametric Modeling, Generative Modeling & Responsive Modeling. Advanced Rendering Techniques were also explored. The course runs in tandem and at some points parallel with the 2nd year 1st semester design studio.
DC3 begins with a series of Parametric structural design concept case studies. Concepts explored are Folded Plate Tessellations, Shell Structure Tessellations, Grid Shells, and Tall Buildings. For Midterm students were asked to create Parametric models of a proposed design. Students also made several renderings of their proposed designs. After Midterm students explored Responsive Components and Generative Components. Lastly, the advanced rendering software VRay was explored and applied to their final design proposals.

ARCH 108 : Design Communications II
DC2 continues to explore the hybridization of analog and digital tools and techniques. The semester begins with a series of exercises focused on digital 2D and 3D polygon and polyhedra tessellations with applied layered hand techniques. Moving forward students explore various 3D surface modeling techniques that are later applied to an intervention of their design studio case study project. 3D printing is introduced as a way to connect the digital space to the physical real world space. As the semester progresses exercises shift from object to building. Architectural technical drawings, rendering, and diagramming become the focus. The final series of exercises serves as an introduction to parametric design. Students decide on what aspects of their design are best suited for controlled parametric conditions. The course runs in tandem and at some points parallel with the 1st year 2nd semester design studio.
