The Art History Department has space in a newly designated CA perspective course. David Salomon is offering one section of ARTH 27514-01 Architectural Topics: SMALL BUILDS on Tuesday and Thursdays at 1:10-2:25. The course is designated for the Sustainability and Inquiry, Innovation, and Imagination themes.
Small Builds is open to all students interested in exploring architecture and design through a multi-scale, ecological, and interdisciplinary lens, moving beyond architecture's traditional definition as the “artful design of buildings.” Studying both historic and current collaborative projects between architecture and art, industrial design, fashion, performance, and beyond, this course will open up to a studio atmosphere allowing for collaborative design/build projects to be investigated and activated.
The course will feature a combination of lecture, discussion, and studio work. Grades will be based off of attendance, participation, and the completion of a collaborative design/build project. Students will be required to purchase a sketch book for class and basic art supplies and materials for the project component.
