6.00 Credits
Seminar, four hours; laboratory, four hours. Overview of technology of ancient metals, aspects of extraction and alloying, corrosion that ancient metals undergo, and how this impacts their preservation. Exploration of knowledge and research work of last two decades that has substantially advanced understanding of processes of extraction, alloying, surface patination, metallic coatings, corrosion, and microstructure. Laboratory work in preparation and examination of metallic samples under microscope, as well as lectures on technology of metallic works of art. Discussion of phase and stability diagrams of common alloying systems and environments.

Emphasis on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and appropriate use of resources, including materials, water, and land. Concurrently scheduled with course CM247A. Letter grading.
-
2.00 Credits
Studio, four hours; outside study, two hours. Limited to currently enrolled college/university students and graduates of colleges/universities. Introduction to techniques of spatial representation as they relate to architectural design. How to communicate using twoand three-dimensional drawing and modeling. Analog and digital techniques and opportunity afforded by moving between both. Analog techniques include orthographic and axonometric projection. Digital techniques focus on computer graphics fundamentals, including bit map and vector graphic imaging using Adobe suite and modeling using Rhinoceros. Offered in summer only. Letter grading.
-
6.00 Credits
Studio, 18 hours. Limited to currently enrolled college/ university students and graduates of colleges/universities. Introduction to basic architectural design principles and problem solving. How to control point, line, surface, and volume to shape spaces for human use. Visual analysis as tool for discussing and understanding organization. Techniques of repetition, variation, order, scale, and rhythm. Use of case-study analysis to uncover disciplinary issues within design problems and production of individual solutions to problems. Offered in summer only. Letter grading.
-
5.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour; outside study, 11 hours. Developments in architecture and urban design from prehistory to 1600, constructing critical positions within which implications of terms history, architecture, city, and culture can be explored. Focus on examples from Europe and Mediterranean Basin and periodic exploration of world context. P/NP or letter grading.
-
5.00 Credits
Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour; outside study, 11 hours. Survey of architectural and urban history from baroque to contemporary moment that covers significant buildings, spaces, artifacts, and theories of modernism. Architecture performs as reflection of cultural, sociopolitical, philosophical, and technological transformations in world history. Stylistic genres, applied terminology, seminal texts, and alternative historiographies that apply to design of built domain that ranges in scale from details to cities. While canon of Western tradition remains overall focus, weekly thematic categories provide variety of conduits for addressing architecture and urban design in global context. P/NP or letter grading.
-
6.00 Credits
Studio, eight hours; outside study, 10 hours. Limited to Architectural Studies majors. Introduction to basic architectural design principles and problem solving: how to control point, line, surface, and volume to shape spaces for human use. Visual analysis as tool for discussing and understanding organization. Techniques of repetition, variation, order, scale, and rhythm. Use of case-study analysis to uncover disciplinary issues within design problems, as well as to produce individual solutions to those problems. Letter grading.
