Course Objectives	The second architectural design studio aims to enhance students' understanding of the relationships between a building, its site, and its users through a multifaceted examination of larger contextual and programmatic variables. It also seeks to improve students’ skills in resolving form, structure, and detailing.
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Will be able to incorporate different kinds of structural systems as a process component in architectural design projects. Will be able to apply strategies by which different and complex user groups affect form and space-making in architectural design projects. Will be able to design projects of increasing complexity and specificity in terms of program, context, user, and building organization. Will be able to use computer-aided drawing and design tools, along with traditional means of model-making and representation, as investigative tools and in the communication of design ideas. Will be able to evaluate the relationship between a building and its environmental determinants, site, context, and topography, through case studies. Will be able to apply design research methods.
Course Description	ARCH 202 centers on the theme of SHARED CONTEXT. In the second architectural design studio course, students will work toward a sophisticated resolution of spatial organization while simultaneously developing a response to a more complex program—specifically, one involving public (i.e., shared) engagement. Accordingly, the focus will be on architectural design as it relates to the user, site, and context, encompassing aesthetic, structural, functional, and environmental considerations. The studio incorporates analytical projects designed to cultivate contextual, environmental, and material awareness, thereby enhancing spatial comprehension.
