2012S_Arch Design 3_Saunders Section

Benjamin Schneiderman 2012.

ARCH-2230 | Andrew Saunders, Assistant Professor Architecture Design 3: Housing Complex[ity] Selected Student Work: One of major criticisms of modern housing projects has been the repetitive homogenous nature and the disregard for complexity and non-hierarchical heterogeneity. Much of this arises out of the closed compositional nature of many of the early projects resisting integration and or [...]

2012S_Arch Design 3_Rehm Section

Tom Roland 2012.

ARCH-2230 | Michael Casey Rehm, Adjunct Professor Architecture Design 3: Housing Complex[ity] Selected Student Work: This studio focused on leveraging architectural precedent analysis toward the production of innovative housing solutions.  The first half of the semester involved the analysis of modern houses assigned by individual section instructors.  Our studio focused on early modern and pre-modern houses [...]
