Department:Architecture
Prerequisites:48-305

The premise of this studio is that under certain conditions individuals? and groups? behaviors can be accurately predicted. Examining the psychological perceptual and physical factors that effect building design, the course develops an understanding of relevant methods of observation. Through this understanding and the design process it considers the building program with respect to characteristics of occupancy: building typology, human factors, and regulatory codes. Typical projects include: courthouse, specialized-use medical-care facility, academic library, and other institutional buildings. Problems are of a moderately complex nature and size (about 70,000 sf.).
