current studio [Winter 2010]
drawing by Ana Vicente - based on Italo Calvino's book - Invisible Cities
While many things may have changed since Vitruvius wrote his seminal treatise over two thousand years ago, architectural education still demands the synthesis of a broad range of specialized technical and intellectual skills. De architectura serves to remind us that we cannot answer all of the questions concerning poetry and building science, history or construction management, or any combination of these or other related disciplines. Architectural education reveals these various disciplines as parts of a living body of knowledge that is Architecture. Studio is the theatre where, through vivisection, we study the anatomy of this body.
Students in the first year of the Bachelor of Architectural Studies are asked to explore the complex relationships between “imagination” and “representation.” Building on the skills developed in ARCS1005, ARCN2106, and the conceptual investigations of ARCH1000, ARCS1105 will develop the capacity of students to observe, imagine, and represent architecture at a fundamental level.
