ARCH/INARC Studio 2 is a two-day core design studio that expands the architecture and interior architecture design skills and research capabilities explored in Studio 1. Design projects of increasing complexity and scale are generated, critiqued and refined. Research includes contemporary architecture, site research, urban context, and critical design issues of theory and construction. Students utilize hand sketching, digital visualization, photography, and physical modeling to present design project work with expanding sophistication. This course requires students to have a laptop that meets SAIC's minimum hardware specs and runs the AIADO software template.

This studio examines the relationship between architecture, interior architecture, and construction across the centuries, and investigates the fabrication of buildings and interior environments. The course focuses on how architects and designers communicate their expectations for realizing built work in drawings and documents that direct conventional construction and control computer aided fabrication and manufacture. Students investigate the latest techniques 'digital and analog' for managing and executing the construction process. This course requires students to have a laptop that meets SAIC's minimum hardware specs and runs the AIADO template.
