Description
Visual Studies III is the last of three VS seminars in the B. Arch core sequence; VS I and VS II are pre-requisites for this class. This course looks at the relationship between building and site, focusing on landscape, atmosphere, and time as the critical elements of architectural thinking and visualization. Students will be introduced to animation, rendered with material qualities and informed by personal narratives. Tutorials will center on software used to create environments and worlds, and projects will be showcased through carefully designed scenes, experienced in time. In parallel, students will finalize a portfolio of work from the first two years and submit a Gateway Portfolio at the end of the semester.
