ARCH 312: BIM and the Parametric Model
3.00 Credits
Catholic University of America
This course will introduce students to the theory and techniques of parametric and Building Information Modeling (BIM) using Autodesk Revit and McNeel¿s Grasshopper plug-in for Rhinoceros. Through a series of lectures, readings, class discussions, and hands-on tutorials, students will learn how to construct and manipulate a sophisticated parametric model that responds to a variety of complex design criteria.

ARCH 314: Portfolio Design
3.00 Credits
Catholic University of America
An overview of the process and organization of an architectural portfolio. Students will review techniques in digital photography and the use of photo editing software. Skills in moving conventional and digital drawings into readable graphic elements within a design will be addressed. Discussions will address design intent and the communication of specific information dependent on a target audience. Students will be introduced to desktop publishing programs in order to construct and organize individual portfolios.

ARCH 321: Structures I
3.00 Credits
Catholic University of America
This course provides an introduction to structural design, exploring force (including lateral loading), statics, equilibrium, and load tracing. It introduces structural analysis of beams, trusses, and cable structures. Students experiment on structural systems including those that are form-active, vector-active, bulk-active, and surface-active.

ARCH 322: Structures II
3.00 Credits
Catholic University of America
This course continues exploring structural mechanics from Structures I and adds strength of materials, focusing on mechanical properties of structural materials, thermal effects on structures, strength, and deformation of structural components. The course introduces concepts of stress, strain, deflection, bending, and buckling of linear structural components. Additional topics include shear and bending diagrams, deflection in beams, mechanical properties of structural sections, and analysis and design of beams, and columns.

ARCH 420: Introduction to Shape Grammars
3.00 Credits
Catholic University of America
This subject introduces a computational or generative approach to design using shape grammars. Shape grammars were one of the first, and remain one of the few, computational design systems that are wholly visual, rather than textural or numerical. They provide a powerful means for design analysis and synthesis, for design exploration, for generating novel design solutions, and understanding design language. Rules are developed to compose and describe architectural and other designs. The class covers topics such as shapes, shape arithmetic, symmetry, spatial relations, shape computations, and shape grammars. It focuses on the application of shape grammars in design language research, design analysis and creative design via computation. This class teaches shape grammars fundamentals through hands-on exercises and discusses issues related to practical applications of shape grammars. The basics of shape grammars wil be introduced through lectures and through in-class, by hand exercises with simple abstract shape grammars. A range of applications from stylistic analysis to creative design will be explored. Computer programs for shape grammars will be presented. Readings will supplement lectures.
