where it bears on the issues under discussion. The course begins with the

cannot be adequately understood unless attention is paid to its various utopian
and dystopiam 'moments'. Also offered as HART 206.

ARCH 382 REPOSITIONING THE SEAM (TECHNOLOGY SEMIN Credits 3.00 Spring 03
The class will explore through the use of surface modeling software and CAD
modeling tools how various techniques of articulation form, in relation to
programmatic performance, affects the visual, formal and spatial organizaiton
of the places we inhabit. With the use of surface modeling programs and CAD
drafting tools, a heavy emphasis will be placed on articulating the work
through graphic techniques before being applied to physical models. The class
will be run in small groups of 2-3 people. The initial weeks of the class will
be spent looking to precedents which explore various techniques of articulaiton
form and space. Each team will then focus these various techniques from the
precedents on a single space or series of space. With each group focusing on
the same spaces, each with a seperate emphasis, a juxtaposition of results will
occur allowing for a comparison that looks to implications on the visual,
performative, and organizational systems.
