Elementary design exercises focusing upon the compositional integration of building and site through the creative assimilation of programmatic, technical and contextual requirements.

The second yePaar studio sequence focuses upon the conventions of architecture in the development of problem-solving skills for design. The understanding of architectural convention is emphasized as the basis for design invention and as the foundation of ethical action. Design exercises stress analysis as well as synthesis of context, function, form, space, and construction while emphasizing principles drawn from the architectural history and construction technology courses. The mastery of conventions of representation is emphasized as well in order to enhance students' abilities in the communication of both technical and expressive intentions.

Intermediate architectural design projects exploring the interrelationships of various programmatic models, normative building types, and technological themes within specific physical, urban, and cultural contexts.

The third year design studio sequence focuses upon strategies of architectural design. Three themes continue throughout this year: program and use; site and context; and material and construction. Individual projects stress the consideration of these issues as well as issues of life safety, accessibility, sustainability. Studios are coordinated with required courses in fundamentals of structures and environmental systems.
