Unlike introductory design courses (e.g., ARCH1101 or ARCH2102) that focus on fundamental tectonics, circulation, and form-making, ARCH4109 demands a holistic approach. By the time a student enrolls in ARCH4109, they are expected to have mastered basic software (Rhino, Revit, Adobe Suite) and construction methodologies. This course strips away scaffolding; it assumes you know how to draw, so you can finally focus on what to draw and why .
The course shifts the focus from traditional building design to a deep theoretical and historical analysis of how "less" became "more" in modern architecture. Core Focus arch4109
You walk in thinking you’re there to refine details—line weights, material callouts, code compliance. And sure, you’ll do all of that. But somewhere between the fourth all-nighter and the moment your pin-up model collapses under its own weight for the third time, something shifts. Unlike introductory design courses (e
The principles of ARCH4109 have been successfully applied in various projects worldwide. Some notable examples include: The course shifts the focus from traditional building
Architecture isn’t a noun. It’s a verb. And ARCH4109 is the conjugation.
