Research Course: Architectural Analysis I
Roger Williams University. 2020. Undergraduate and graduate.
Course introduction from the syllabus (R. Viola): The course introduced sophomore and first year graduate students to Architectural Analysis through various forms of representation. Students engaged in hand drawing and digital image making as the fundamental tools for analysis, documentation and visual communication. Emphasis was on learning through architectural precedents offering insights into the formal, geometric, tectonic and spatial composition of buildings and their contexts.
Using case studies covering centuries of accumulated knowledge, students learned to document, record, compose and describe different aspects of the work. I co-taught this class as an adjunct professor at Roger Williams University.
