Architecture: Future House

Rommel Taylor
San Francisco campus (August 1–12)

Chances are your first drawing of a house was a square with a triangle-shaped roof, two windows, a door, and a chimney. In the windows, or next to the tree outside the house, you drew your family. This studio begins with a series of quick exercises introducing students to concepts of scale, proportion, and model-making techniques.

The final project challenges the participants to design the house of the future, expressing their imaginations through drawings, architectural models, SketchUp, and the incorporation of some basic sustainable design concepts.

A slide presentation showing a variety of houses from San Francisco and abroad introduces students to the diversity of what people call "home." The last day of the course includes a field trip to the offices of a local architectural firm to show students how architects do their work.
