This course demands a heavy writing workload and runs on abstract, highly subjective design theory that often feels more like philosophical rambling than clear instruction. Success hinges on securing a supportive TA and making regular office hour appearances to decode grading expectations, since lectures are difficult to follow and rubrics are notoriously flexible. Unless you are an architecture major or genuinely willing to tolerate the eccentricity and weekly page counts, it is best avoided, though students who lean into the unconventional approach often find the theoretical perspective uniquely valuable.
You write a paper every week. The lectures are useless, so are the readings.

This class is a great course to really open up your way of thinking about architecture. There's a paper due each Monday though, ranging from 2 or 3 pages to 7 or 8 pages. Be ready to write.

Honestly, I have no idea what he's trying to teach during the lecture, but he makes the students to think about the architecture in an intersting way. This class is not hard, but it's very time consuming and the grades are very arbitrary since TAs grade them all-if you are not satisfied with your grade, just go to his office hour and talk about it. Once again, be prepared to read and write alot as if this is an ENWR class.

Bring your ipod and a tazer to class. They like modern art.

It was challenging, at times confusing, but nonetheless, poetic and liberating.

The professor is awful. As my TA put it, "He speaks another language that you won't understand for a couple more year. Then everything he says will make sense." I just think he's a straight out of the looney bin. Paper with 20 or more diagrams due every week. However, TA's are helpful.
