Architecture and the City
Architects ask big questions: as online shopping grows, brick-and-mortar stores close. How can we repurpose the empty buildings? Dream big and explore ideas for the structure Macy’s is vacating. Collaborate and fabricate hands-on creations in our Makerspace. Through field trips, experience San Francisco through the eyes of an architect. This course will offer onsite students the opportunity to engage in local contemporary issues impacting them and make direct observations during field trips.
AE ARH40 must be taken concurrently.
