A person with long hair is standing in front of a wall displaying various colorful artworks, composed of cut-out shapes and designs. The individual appears to be attaching or adjusting one of the artworks, using tape or adhesive. Several framed images are propped against the wall and stacked on the floor, creating a creative and artistic environment. The background is a muted gray, contrasting with the vibrant colors of the artworks.

The Architectural Mediums Primer is a 2-week intensive studio workshop environment for incoming M.Arch/MLA/MS Arch/MS UD students to prepare for future design studios at the GA/LA/UD. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is intended to facilitate a smooth transition for students of all levels and abilities. Throughout the two weeks, you will work through a series of exercises toward an architectural product. These exercises will explore computational and representational tools, as well as methods for outputting physical models using fabrication techniques.

The workshop also features a MLA-specific section focusing on Landscape Mediums. The emphasis in this section is on skill-building and preparation for entry into the Master of Landscape Architecture program. The course provides a foundation of skills and techniques ranging from landscape analysis and representation, to digital modeling and making.

Course Goal(s)

  • To prepare students for first-semester studio with a select set of media and representation skills
  • To gain an understanding of drawing and representing an architectural section and plan
  • To acquire a foundation knowledge of representation topics in architectural history
  • To become familiar with architectural representation to produce and analyze an architectural project
