3.00 Credits
The course advances empirical understanding of natural forces as they both shape and affect buildings, including gravity, wind, light, heat, sound, and fluids. This course emphasizes the development of conceptual thinking and problem solving skills through sensory-based demonstrations, lectures, and laboratory experimentation. The course will emphasize concepts of PHSX 114 as they relate to the built environment. The course will require freehand drawing, physical, model-building and the application of Photoshop and InDesign software programs. Tutorials and workshop sessions will introduce and require use of other computer software applications. Prerequisite: PHSX 114 and either ARCH 109 or ARCH 502; or consent of instructor. LEC
-
6.00 Credits
The second year studios are responsible for introducing students to the basic form determinants of architecture-from limited scope exercises to complete building designs within the natural environment. Using diagrams and sketches, plans, sections, elevations and models, students explore the spatial ordering of human activity, the analysis of site, sound, light and air modulation, simple environmental controls and energy conservation, basic framing systems, volumetric organization and the materials of building skins and envelopes in the design of small buildings. Prerequisite: ARCH 109. LAB
-
6.00 Credits
A continuation of ARCH 208 with an emphasis on the synthesis of basic form determinants, including the completion of a design project of a medium-sized, multi-storied public building in the urban environment containing a variety of spaces and spans. This project will enable students to demonstrate competence in basic architectural design, act as a summation of the variety of smaller design exercises undertaken through the year, and prepare students for the third year focus on the materials and methods of building construction. Prerequisite: ARCH 208. LAB

3.00 Credits
The course will immerse students in the exploration of the generation, manipulation, and production of graphic images through the use of computers. The goal of the course is to help reach an understanding of computers that allows for future growth in an environment in constant change, and to provide an overview of what is currently possible. The format of the course will be a combination of lectures and workshops. The lectures will introduce students to theoretical and application-oriented topics. Group discussions will focus on the computer as a conceptual construct, the computability of design, and computers as design partners. The workshops will provide students with hands-on experience. The vehicles used for these investigations will be desktop publishing, paint, and drafting tools. As resources become available this list will be augmented. LEC
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of architectural history from pre-history through the Middle Ages, primarily in Europe, Africa and the Near East, with additional lectures on the Far East and the Americas. Emphasis given to the formal and technological aspects of the buildings on the social and political functions of architecture. Weekly lectures and readings including original sources. LEC
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of ARCH 340, History of Architecture I, studying the period from 1400-1800. Particular attention given to new theoretical developments and to stylistic expressions that emerged with the revived interest in classical antiquity, the effects of new scientific thinking on architecture, and on the role of architecture as an expression of political power. Emphasis is on architecture in Europe and the Americas with exploration of contemporary developments in Asia and Africa. Weekly lectures and readings including original sources. Prerequisite: ARCH 340 or ARCH 640 or consent of instructor. LEC
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of ARCH 341, History of Architecture II, covers the period from around 1800 to the present. Particular emphasis is placed on the major cultural shifts that have impacted architectural representation and have contributed to its differentiation as Modern, not only in Europe, North and South America but also with examples in India and Pakistan. Weekly lectures and readings including original sources. Prerequisite: ARCH 341 or ARCH 641 or consent of instructor. LEC
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Special problems in architecture. The study of a particular problem in architecture involving individual research and presentation. Conferences and reports. (May be taken for Credit/No Credit.) Prerequisite: Student must submit to his or her faculty adviser, in advance, a statement of the problem he or she wishes to pursue, the methodology he or she plans to use in the program, and the objectives of the special problems. He or she must also be in agreement with the faculty member he or she proposes as instructor for the course. IND

3.00 Credits
This course situates landscape architecture in a broad cultural and social context with the intention of developing skills in critical thinking about the role of exterior place-making in the built environment. Lectures and assigned readings will explore central issues in the history and theory of landscape architecture and look at key sites and their designers. Other topics will include environmental attitudes and perception, the human experience of place, and ideas of nature. LEC
-
4.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the process of architectural design and further develop a formal vocabulary. Students will explore building analysis through studio-type exercises. Both local and well known buildings will be examined. Open only to students admitted to B.A. in Architectural Studies. Prerequisite: ARCH 103. One history course (HA or ARCH) as well. LEC
