Advanced Projects in Architecture and Design
Course Description
Summary
This is a projects class for students of design (including architecture). Students will work together in a supportive and challenging studio environment to offer feedback and assistance toward their various projects including (but not limited to) architectural projects, graphic projects, and projects that combine physical making with digital image and object manipulation. Students will be required to participate in regular critique, demonstrate engagement with a sustained (material and conceptual) research question, and develop their ideas through readings and discussion. This course may be taken alongside another VA workshop or projects course. Students doing advanced work in architecture and/or design are highly encouraged to take this course.
Prerequisites
Prior courses in design and/or visual art. Please apply with a brief statement (500 words) describing what you would like to work on in the course. You may include up to 3 images in your proposal. It’s alright if your plans about what you would like to work on change, somewhat, after you apply – the application just helps me figure out if this course is appropriate for what you are trying to achieve. Send course applications to farhadmirza@bennington.edu at least a week prior to 4000 level registration.
