Course description and aims
This course is a design studio to learn basic skills for architectural design.
The first assignment is to trace drawings of a remarkable house by freehand for an exercise, and the second assignment is to design a detached house whose building conditions are organized by students themselves.
Student learning outcomes
The goals of this course are as follows:
1) To learn precise drawing representation skills through trace assignments.
2) To learn methods for analyzing and gaining an understanding of past exceptional works from an architecture standpoint through short assignments.
3) To gain a precise understanding of given conditions through design assignments, and learn approaches for connecting them to spatial representations, as well as to learn skills for adequately explaining design intent with words through a presentation.
Keywords

Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
This course is held in the drafting room, where students will make drawings using a pre-arranged drafting table, and drawing tools purchased individually. The instructor will give a general explanation at the beginning of the assignment. During class the instructors and TAs will move around the drafting room, giving individual guidance suited to student's respective progress.

Assessment criteria and methods
A sharp and strong drawing based on precise understanding of the building is excellent on the first assignment.
On design project, students are expected to develop their ideas continuously and express it by drawings and oral presentation.
The evaluation of the students in this course is based on a total score of all the assignments.
