Arch 440 - Explorations in Structural Principles

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course begins with a series of presentations (lectures) about primary systems in an effort to familiarize students with basic structural principles. This is a nonmathematical exploration of how structures work and why. We attempt to become conversant in the language of structures. Students identify a particular system and do case studies exploring its characteristics and how, where, and why the system has been used. These explorations ultimately lead to the development of large-scale (testable) models.
