Zachary Schumacher is a designer and educator interested in developing new architectural methods of representation that bridge the gap between the computationally described object and the constructed surface. His current research looks into the always-present, yet rarely discussed, embodied dimensions and algorithms embedded within the tools that orchestrate the architectural discipline. He received a Master of Architecture (MArch) from RISD and a Master of Science in Architecture Studies (SMArchS) from MIT. His scholarly work can be found in Contract, Log, Paprika! and Pidgin.

SECTION DESCRIPTION
This course introduces the beginning student to the origins, media, geometries and role(s) of projection drawing in the design and construction process. The student will learn systems of projection drawing from direct experience, and be challenged to work both from life and to life. Subjects such as transparency, figure/ground, sciagraphy, oblique projection, surface development, volumetric intersections, spatial manipulation and analytic operations will build on the basics of orthographic and conic projection. The course involves line and tone drawing, hand drafting, computer drawing (Autocad) and computer modeling (Rhino).
Estimated Cost of Materials: $20.00 - $100.00
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Enrollment is limited to Sophomore Architecture Students.
