ARC 321: Representation II
Architectural Representation II is an intermediate studio-based class aimed at investigating and testing the potency of one of the most fundamental representation systems in architecture — imagery making or the "realistic" representation of "unbuilt" architectural design — as a possible method for designing and thinking architecture. View the full course outline.
Instructors: Adrian Phiffer (Coordinator), Dan Briker
Guest critics: James Swain, Kourosh Fathi, Kristina Ljubanovic, Roberto Damiani, Dieter Janssen, Christie Pearson

ARC 314: The Architecture of Interpretation: The Library
One of the most important skills architects can develop, especially at the civic scale, is the interpretive courage to redefine existing programs or typologies, thus evolving the possibilities in our field. In this course, students were asked to develop and apply this skill in the design of a new library. View the full course outline.
Instructors: Alex Josephson (Coordinator), Nova Tayona, Chloe Town
Guest critics: Lorne Gertner, Gabe Gonda, Murray White, Fiona Lim Tung, Dieter Janssen, Christie Pearson, Jelena Porovic, Antoine Belaeiff, Jake Schabas

ARC 201: How to Design Almost Nothing
Designing Nothing means removing from the design input issues of cultural aesthetics, social systems, environmental ecology, formalism, and narrative. Yet, one might ask, what are we then left with? Is it possible to structure a discussion about space around... nothing? View the full course outline.
Instructors: Jonathan Enns (Coordinator), Katy Chey, Julie Bogdanowicz, Alex Josephson
Guest critics: Laragh Halldorson, Jennifer Davis, Jeffrey Forst, Ala Roushan, Mateusz Nowacki, Chloe Town

JAV101: How to Design Almost Anything
Designing "almost anything" means that any object is designed and therefore can be subject to scrutiny through the lends of cultural aesthetics, social systems, environmental ecology, formalism, etc. Whether you are designing a poster or a podium, all design incorporates the same basic ambition — to prescribe meaningful relationships between people, places and things.
