This course introduces the use of digital modeling, stop-motion and movement capture, and manual and hybrid drawing to expand each student’s analytical and expressive repertoire. Fundamental techniques are introduced through short exercises and workshops leading toward an investigation of the body to the environment through the sustained study of an exemplary precedent building. Multiple forms of media, observational and imaginative drawing, montage, and motion media are used for a reconstruction of the design process and to re-establish the thought patterns that formed the buidling’s design priorities. These discoveries are then re-presented to describe and reinterpret the building’s properties and design ambitions through fictional processes of ruination and reconstruction.
