ID 501 - Graduate Precedent Studio I

(Cr: 3)

Precedent building analysis and research remains an integral component of the design profession, as a tool for deciphering architectural and interior design history. This graduate level precedent design studio, along with the co-requisite precedent research seminar, explores design principles and theory through selected readings, discussions, and short studio assignments. The student will develop an understanding of interior design and architectural design analysis through various diagrammatic techniques. It is through precedent studies that designers can develop their identification of themes and patterns that aid in the generation of design form.
