3.00 Credits
An exploration of current 3D modeling programs using simple design projects as the basis for learning the software for developing design concepts in three dimensions, expanding upon 2D AutoCAD and other drawings into 3D models, rendering, lighting, shadow studies and transformations. This course will also explore simple transformations of images in PhotoShop. Includes an investigation of a wide variety of applications in these skills. AD1XX Technical Drawing for Environmental Designers Prerequisites: Type: hybrid studio/critique(5hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: departmental elective

3.00 Credits
Current professional architectural design and drafting software is introduced in the context of space planning for domestic, educational, commercial and industrial uses. The process of planning space is covered from interviewing the client, measuirng and documenting existing space and equipment, understanding the needs of users, applying building codes, ergonomic requirements, and accessibility laws, producing several logical preliminary schemes, to finally developing a complete set of working drawings for the scheme selected, using the 2D features of AutoCAD. Typical projects include space use, reflected ceiling, dimensions and details, and material and color plans. Technical Drawing; freshmen with permission of instructor Prerequisites: Type: hybrid studio/critique(5hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: departmental elective
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to architecture as a social art involving responsibility to inhabitants, form, and material within public and private contexts. Projects demonstrate evaluation of program choices, building systems, methods, and craft. Students develop skills in transforming design ideas into built form. Prerequisites: AD2X0, DE202 Type: hybrid studio/critique(5hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: departmental required
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces construction at a domestic scale through lectures, slides and field trips. Structural calculations include safe selection of building parts by stress analysis, beam equations and column computations. Students learn sufficient wood and masonry building techniques to design a small wood frame building. Assisgnments include structural models and calculations. Prerequisites: None Type: lecture/seminar(3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: departmental required
-
3.00 Credits
Development of technical drawing skills through exploration in various media using architectural or industrial design contexts. Introduces various drawing techniques. Attention is given to 3D material rendition, construction means, and form characteristics through measuring, documentation, and transformation into 2D drawing. Freehand and hard line drawing including plan, section, elevation, axonometric, isometric, and perspective. Prerequisites: Type: critique(4hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: departmental elective
-
3.00 Credits
Design Works is a multi-disciplinary critique and seminar class in current design topics. This semester the class investigates lighting. Invited experts in the lighting and research field provide essential tools, background and demonstrations in a lecture and presentation format, with the class culminating in a final project that solves a particular design issue. Each project is pre-selected based upon the actual needs of a corporate or community partner, and the students address specific component solutions that are covered in the course content. Typical topics include but are not limited to investigations of built form, analysis of precedent, daylighting, product design, line and low voltage systems, the science of light, experimentation of light as material, sustainability, lighting loads, solar energy systems, and physical applications. Open to Freshmen with Permission of Instructor Prerequisites: Type: hybrid studio/critique(5hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: departmental elective
-
3.00 Credits
This studio is designed as an introduction to the basic principles of furniture design as it relates to history, methods of production and style. The projects are structures for the student to develop a design method that is based upon content, idea and a rigorous examination of preconceived conventions. AD202 Methods and Materials or TDA201 Projects in Wood Prerequisites: Culturally Diverse ContenType: hybrid studio/critique(5hrs) t Enrollment: all college elective
-
3.00 Credits
Development of tools and fundamental skills to form a primary competence in the development of preliminary and final designs for required programs, building and site propositions. They include the acts of integration, exploration, projection and the ability to think critically about how concepts and methods can influence the forms of building and the built environment. Prerequisites: AD 223 Type: hybrid studio/critique(5hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: departmental required
-
3.00 Credits
Students are introduced to the basic principles of interior architecture, seen as an extension of the built environment. Through documentation, research in modular frameworks, program interpretation, the nature of renovation, the interpretation of materials and the development of color and texture assemblages, students are exposed to the processes of visual communication using a variety of forms. Interior spaces must satisfy both the artistic and functional requirements of place making for inhabitation. Projects require skills in form and program development, building systems, code requirements and space planning. Prerequisites: None Type: critique(4hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: required & elective
-
3.00 Credits
An exploration of form.Z for computer-aided designing and PhotoShop for manipulation of images created with form.Z. Includes investigation of a wide variety of applications of these skills. Prerequisites: None Type: lecture/seminar (3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: departmental elective
