The objective of this studio is to research, plan, and begin the architectural design for a housing unit with a specific program and location. Students will work primarily in the studio space and rely heavily on internal and external review of their work. The course provides a foundation for more advanced study in architecture, landscape architecture, and other fields related to the design of the built environment, and provides opportunities to work with professionals and Cameron Visiting Architects. This studio will continue into HARC 0372 and is a prerequisite for that course, though students are not required to continue on. Students should expect a substantial amount of work outside of class time. (HARC 0130 and HARC 0330) 3 hrs. lect./3 hrs. lab.
