Course description
 The purpose is to learn how to analyze, think, and apply the relationship between form and space in architecture from various perspectives. By observing the rationality of natural forms and the forms and spaces that human beings have historically created, and discovering their constituent principles, we will consider what is the essential architectural design method. You can deepen your understanding of the relationship between the shape of architecture and space by visualizing illustrations and corresponding photographs. Classes will be conducted using slides, VTRs, etc., with concrete examples so that they can be easily understood visually. This is an introductory class for architectural design for beginners.
Purpose of class
 The purpose is to enable students who are learning architecture for the first time to discover the basic ideas and ways to find problems. Learn the need for a wide range of knowledge and the joy of learning in architecture. To be able to experience architecture from familiar things.
