ARTH 333 Traditional Design and Preservation in Charleston (3)

This course will introduce students to the many facets of architectural design in traditional modes, and to the use of the design process to foster deeper understanding and appreciation for the historic buildings in Charleston and elsewhere. The course will be taught in a studio format like that used in architecture schools. Student research, design, and presentations will form a significant portion of the course, as will site visits. Lectures will address issues relevant to traditional design, including proportions, ornament nomenclature, architectural theory, and a survey of design precedents. Projects will include wash and charcoal rendering.
