  • ARCH 2100: Architectural Design V

    5.00 Credits
    University of Detroit Mercy

    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.

  • ARCH 2160: 3D Computer Graphics

    3.00 Credits
    University of Detroit Mercy

    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.
