  • AR 216: Computer Aided Design

    3.00 Credits
    University of Detroit Mercy

    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)

  • AR 220: Architectural Design VI

    3.00 Credits
    University of Detroit Mercy

    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)

  • AR 225: Construction II

    3.00 Credits
    University of Detroit Mercy

    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.
