3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: This course in computer aided design uses primarily Autodesk 3D Studio software. The emphasis is on visualization and design in three dimensions. Students learn how to assemble complex three-dimensional, digital architectural landscapes equipped with real-life attributes of light, building materials, etc. These objects are rendered and animated to facilitate the needs of the design process as well as complex graphic presentations. Additional post-processing and graphic software is introduced. (3 Credits)

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: AR 210 This series of studios combines students from the third and fourth years into a common studio to explore a particular project type and theme. These projects change from term to term. Project types include: housing, civic buildings, urban design, retail, office, health care and manufacturing buildings, etc. Themes include: community design, architectural competitions, historic preservation, electronic design, sustainable design, representation, design-build, and architectural theory. Examples include: an electronic design studio for the design of a German Embassy for the City of Detroit, a design- build studio for the design and construction of a prototypical design studio space, an urban design and landscape design studio, and a community design studio for the design of a VFW Hall. It is the intent of these studios to broaden and deepen the student's design skills and experiences while preparing them for the Master's Studios.(5 Credits)

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: AR 212 An examination of the development of architecture from the Industrial Revolution to present day. The course examines the fundamental themes underlying the creation of modern architectural form and relates them to developments in the other plastic arts. The course makes extensive use of slides and visual materials. (3 Credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: AR 215 Principles, materials and methods of architectural construction are examined as they relate to the exterior enclosure systems of buildings. An analysis of materials and systems, including: damp proofing, waterproofing, curtain walls, windows, glass and glazing, sealants and joint design, moisture and heat control is undertaken. Codes and standards are considered for their affects on the technical aspects of the construction process. The importance of maintaining the integrity of exterior enclosure systems is stressed.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MTH 140 Analysis of structures. This course teaches the mathematical calculation of structures through lectures, and individual problem assignments. It focuses on resolution of forces; reaction; forces in frames and trusses; and forces in frames with beams. Also examined are characteristics of structural materials and structural components: shear and bending movements, flexural and shear stresses, combined stresses, principal stresses, combined bending and axial loads and stresses, deflection, continuity in structures. Light weight wood framing is presented as is wood as a structural material. (3 Credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Theory and application of building plumbing systems and of heating, ventilating, cooling, humidity control and fire protection. Emphasizes the effects these requirements have on architecture in terms of human comfort and health. (3 Credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: AR 233 This second course in structures focuses on principles of design of simple structures. Primarily studied are the design of beams, columns, trusses, built-up components and foundations in standard structural materials, steel and concrete. Related building construction techniques as well as lateral and seismic loading are also presented. (3 Credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Physical theory of light and color; subjective determination of light level and lighting quality; building electrical systems; sound energy, transmission, absorption, room acoustics and noise control are some f the topics explored. (3 Credits)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: AR 222 An examination of selected examples of contemporary theory. The course closely examines competing ideas regarding architecture, urbanism and landscape and their implication for contemporary design. (3 Credits)
