3.00 Credits
Description: Survey of lightweight construction techniques, including pneumatics, tensile membranes, three-dimensional cable nets, grid shells and flexure stiff plates. Graduate-level requirements include an additional project demonstrating a comprehensive grasp of one lightweight construction technique. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Usually offered: Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: A comprehensive course that teaches students energy conservation and passive solar architecture and up-to-date computer energy simulation techniques. The course promotes students learning through field investigation of existing buildings and/or new design projects. Graduate-level requirements include writing short essays on development exercises and presenting simple payback and lifecycle cost analysis on projects. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Lectures on advanced passive solar soft technology features fine tune passive architectural designs. Explanation of thermal performance/alternative applications on a base case design. Thermal efficiency/energy cooling/heating loads assessed through computer energy simulation. Graduate-level requirements include an additional research report on selected passive solar systems. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. May be convened with: ARC 461E. Usually offered: Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Course will investigate structural concepts and characteristics of force, form, material and connection. Natural precedents examined in context of their generative conditions; structural concepts will be distilled, abstracted, developed and altered through construction of physical models/drawings. Graduate-level requirements include completing all assignments as individuals (whereas undergraduate students will be working in teams of two). Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Typical structure: 3 hours laboratory, 2 hours lecture. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Explores possibilities, challenges and potentials of low-tech strategies and techniques, like natural ventilation and thermal storage in high-tech applications, focusing on building type of high-rise office tower and possibilities for future high-rise residential buildings. Graduate-level requirements include grading on their research and presentation. This constitutes 10% of the quantitative grade. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Typical structure: 2 hours lecture, 2 hours studio. May be convened with: ARC 461G. Usually offered: Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Three modules: (1) materials: classifications, physical properties, phenomenal (aesthetic) properties, and fabrication processes; (2) laboratory tests (probes) for empirical verification; and (3) selection of appropriate materials in the design and production of architectonic functional components (details)-preferably at full size. Graduate-level students must submit an elaborate architectonic artifact and summary, and an abstract and paper, with submission proof to an architectural journal. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Prerequisite(s): Fourth-year standing or higher. May be convened with: ARC 461I. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Modeling must not operate by precepts, but by the culture of experimentation, eliciting aesthetic and rational judgment in the free play between mind and matter. The play must be heuristic, inducing its own sense (or meta-logic) from the activity itself. The products must include in themselves their own meter for evaluation. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Usually offered: Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Examine American Indian landscape and architecture as social space, contrasting the traditional with the contemporary. The majority of students will come from AIS, Anthropology, Geography, Education, and elsewhere, with a smaller number from design fields. Graduate-level requirements include in-depth written discussions and in-depth paper or design projects applying the course content to some actual social setting. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Identical to: AIS 571B. May be convened with: ARC 471B. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: An overview of the Historic Preservation movement in America, including discussion of concepts, rationale for and methods of resource utilization, implementation of plans, legislation, etc. Graduate-level requirements include an in-depth research paper focusing on a particular concept or methodology utilized in preservation practice. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Identical to: LAR 571F. Usually offered: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Investigate the architecture of museums and the installation of exhibitions, past and present, as manifestations of contemporary positions on the construction and content of knowledge, the public mission of cultural and scientific institutions, and the framing of visitor's experience. Graduate-level requirements include a research paper of an additional five pages in length and a formal in-class presentation of their research topic and conclusions, to be illustrated as appropriate. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Usually offered: Fall, Spring.
