Course number and title: ARC3709HS – Selected Topics in Architecture. Elective - stream/number to be decided

Course description: This course builds on the representational skills and visual practices developed throughout the core architecture curriculum, advancing students’ understanding of image making as a critical and creative practice in architecture. Through a more focused and sophisticated exploration of composition, visual narrative, and digital representation, students will investigate how images can shape architectural ideas, communicate spatial experiences, and construct new forms of architectural expression. The course also considers the rapidly changing role of artificial intelligence in image production, examining how AI-generated and AI-assisted workflows are reshaping authorship, representation, and the relationship between intention and image. Through iterative exercises and projects, students will develop a critical and sophisticated approach to image making that balances technical proficiency with visual judgment and conceptual clarity.
