ADI-851 Style, Culture, & Theory
Students will learn how style culture and theory influence, or inform, the adaptation of buildings. Students evaluate two sites and establish criteria for determining the capacity of each to accommodate a new program of use. Students identify existing documentation for these buildings and create a weighting system to compare and contrast the two. Lectures, readings and research exercises enable students to assess geographic, environmental and technological conditions of each site and depict these conditions in a variety of maps and diagrams.
