Collaborative Study Carrel, Skirkanich Hall: Exploded axonometric, Roberto Galindo-Fiallos

The project consists of the design of a co‐working study carrel in one of three specified locations in existing buildings on campus. The proposed study carrel is to accommodate two students and be equipped with desk, bookshelf, lighting, power supply, etc. For purposes of the project assume existing window frames and millions will be removed and a new window will be included in each design proposal. Study carrels may project a maximum of six feet into the interior of the building and a maximum of two feet beyond the exterior face of the building. Provide enclosure and sun control, as necessary.

ARCH 1010: Introduction to Design

This course is an introduction to design in architecture. What is design? The word is descended from the Latin designare, “to mark out” (de‐ + signare, to mark). For purpose of this course design is defined as the creative act of “marking out” a work of architecture. The primary purpose of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts and basic skills necessary in the design of a work of architecture. Fundamental concepts include a basic understanding of description, projection, and fabrication – in both two and three‐dimensions. Basic skills include freehand sketching and drawing, computer‐aided drawing (orthographic and axonometric) and the fabrication of scale models using hand, power, and digital tools.
