Introductory lecture course in the Common First Year sequence required of all students entering the College of Architecture undergraduate programs. The course provides a forum and a framework for understanding the designed and built environment in all its complexity.
Thrice-weekly lectures, presentations, and preceptorials: introduce the three COA undergraduate programs and their related disciplines and professions; provide a cross- and inter-disciplinary perspective on each as well as the overlaps and connections between them; provide an introduction to the changing physical, social, economic, and political landscape of the American city and Atlanta in particular; introduce different approaches to engage the relationship between physical and social conditions within the designed and built environment.
An on-line environment serves as a parallel and collaborative space for class and curricular activities.
