An introductory course which explores in broad terms the nature of our architecture, what it is composed of, how it has evolved, and ways in which it may be perceived and interpreted. The main streams in the development of modern architecture are traced up to the present and lead to a discussion of current work, ideas and concerns, and the role of the architectural profession.
The application of mathematics to architecture through evolutionary geometrical studies, humanist thought, perspective development; geometrical constructions; trigonometry; algebra; calculus and matrices.
This is an introduction to desktop computers as used in- architectural practice. Half of the course will focus on 2 and 3-dimensional computer-aided design concepts and skills. Most of the remainder of the course will focus on cost estimating and specifications using data-base, spread sheet and word processing software. All applications will be based on a single case study building which is used throughout the course.
