This is a new seminar course that is part of a recently-adjusted curriculum for the advanced track of the RISD Master of Architecture Program. Its primary concern is knowledge that may be cultivated and tested through discourse with a focus on an expansive role of architectural tools. While acknowledging a wealth of disciplinary conventions, histories and theories, this course recognizes that the forms of representation within the discipline of architecture have the capacity to affect the discipline of architecture and are not fixed. A series of prompts provided the structure of the course: Draw what you see and what you know, but that which you can’t measure (clouds and spheres); Model what you can measure (rooms); Write captions as a threaded through drawings; Create computational methods for giving structure to that which can’t be measured (transformational algorithms for clouds and spheres); Write extended definitions (tracing the etymology, and interrelationship of a set of drawing words such as “drawing,” “subject,” “object,” “manual,” “hatch,” “simulation”, “model,” et.c); Design non-traditional, improper, or hybrid projection methods (as applied to previously modeled rooms); Draw the corner problem (and relatedly, "solve" the corner problem through drawing); Re-consider an architectural problem by defining a line of architectural research (a micro-thesis).
