Description from College Catalog: “Assignment to field work/study situations of approximately eight to ten hours per week at one of the following: an architectural office; engineering office; interior design office; architecture, engineering or interior design branch of a municipal agency or corporate design office; construction administration or office practices branch of a construction firm, drafting position with a non-architectural firm subject to review. Each student will keep a log/journal to be shared in-group seminars. Supervision will be by faculty and by the job supervisor.”
Introduction to Architecture provides a foundation for students entering the BArch / BTech program to develop a “visual literacy” on the built environment. By practicing the basic skills of sketching, drafting, and reading about buildings, and with the opportunity to present their understanding to others through written assignments and verbal presentations, students will develop methods of representing and presenting architecture verbally and graphically.
