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.
