Abstract

The Introduction to Architecture provides a foundation for students entering the BArch / BTech program to develop a “visual literacy” of the built environment. Using New York City as a living laboratory, students explore concepts of design, composition, and construction in the context of the city through their direct experience of buildings. By practicing the basic skills of drafting, sketching, and reading about buildings, and with the opportunity to present their understandings to others through written assignments and verbal presentations, students will develop methods of representing and presenting architecture verbally and graphically.

OER created through the NYCCT OER Faculty Fellowship.

OERs at NYCCT are housed on the City Tech OpenLab, a dynamic platform that allows faculty to easily update their course and related materials. As faculty teach with their OERs, they may revise them. We recommend consulting the full OER at: Introduction to Architecture (Arch1101).
