Introduction to integrated design

This MIT OpenCourseWare includes selected lecture notes, details of assignments, image galleries and links to images on Flickr from the Introduction to Integrated Design undergraduate course given at the School of Architecture in the autumn 2006.

This course explores the basic questions of architecture through several short design exercises. Working with many different media, students will discover the interrelationship of architecture and its related disciplines, such as structures, sustainability, architectural history and the visual arts. Each problem will focus on one of these disciplines and one exploration and presentation technique. Students will create additions to modernist structures, guest houses that operate off the grid in remote locations, places to experience art, and finally a project that will combine aspects of these projects into a community project in the Boston Seaport Area.
