ARCH 6304 - Column, Wall, Elevation, Facade: A Study of the Vertical Surface in Architecture

Fall or spring. 3 credits.

Co-meets with ARCH 3304.

J. Wells.

Field and figure relationships (interrelation of parts dominated by the general character of the whole) are the general themes for studying numerous issues relevant to the design of elevations and facades. The first part of the semester is a lecture/seminar format. Students are required to research and present a paper for discussion. In the latter part of the semester, students do exercises to demonstrate their understanding of the issues addressed.
