-
3.00 - 12.00 Credits
1st Semester. Lab 12, 3 credits. This course introduces the student to fundamental design skills, representational skills and knowledge of formal ordering systems. Design projects are architectonic - conceptual - in nature and are designed to teach the student to thinksystematically and critically. Students develop beginning skills in freehand drawing, projected drawing, speculative drawing, presentation drawing and model making.
-
3.00 - 12.00 Credits
2nd Semester. Lab 12, 3 credits. This course continues the architectonic approach of ARCH 0101 and extends it to the design of inhabitable, contextualized spaces. Students continue to develop the beginning representational skills introduced in ARCH 0101. New skills are introduced including analytical freehand drawing and axonometric drawing. An emphasis is placed on developing the student's visual sensitivity and an iterative design process. Prerequisite: ARCH 0101.
-
3.00 - 12.00 Credits
1st Semester. Lab 12, 3 credits. In this studio, students advance from designing architectonic compositions to designing built environments. The idea of context is explored and projects in rural, urban and suburban sites are assigned. An emphasis is placed on the predesign analyses of program and site. The study of precedents is introduced. Students learn intermediate representational skills including freehand landscape drawing depicting space and depth, perspective projection, and making site models. Prerequisite: ARCH 0102.
-
6.00 - 12.00 Credits
2nd Semester. Lab 12, 6 credits. This course introduces the student to architectural tectonics - construction materials, details and structural systems. An emphasis is placed on integrated building systems as the basis for sustainable design. The study of precedents is developed to include plan, section and elevations studies. Students learn advanced techniques of freehand drawing, projected drawing and model making. Computer applications in design are introduced. Prerequisite: ARCH 0201.
-
3.00 Credits
1st Semester. Lect. 3, 3 credits. An introduction to architectural design with emphasis on the relationship between people and the built environment. The course will cover subject areas pertaining to function, human behavior and space, and problem analysis. Specific discussion topics will include anthropometrics, proxemics, personal space, territoriality, environmental perception, and meaning and symbolism. Prerequisite: ARCH. 0102.
-
3.00 - 6.00 Credits
2nd Semester. Lab 6, 3 credits. This course is designed to teach students the use of computer technology in solving architectural problems. Using desk-top computers and a variety of software, students will be introduced to computer-aided design and drafting programs. Specifically, the course will provide instruction on the use of these programs as they apply to design, drafting, program analysis, cost estimating, scheduling, structural design and analysis, and other applications.
-
3.00 Credits
2nd Semester. Lect. 3, 3 credits. A survey of the history of the built environment from antiquity through the middle ages. Western and Non-Western cultures will be covered. Prerequisite: Professional Program admittance.
-
6.00 - 12.00 Credits
1st Semester. Lab 12, 6 credits. In this course, the student develops their understanding of integrated building systems. Topics from congruent architectural technology courses - ARCH 331, ARCH 341 and ARCH 343 - will be applied in studio projects. These include thermal control systems, water and waste systems, fire protection, and the use of wood structural systems. The role of the building site and context is explored from the perspective of sustainable design. Students will analyze historic precedents as a basis for design. Prerequisite: Professional Program admittance.
-
6.00 - 12.00 Credits
2nd Semester. Lab 12, 6 credits. This course continues the application of topics from congruent architectural technology courses - ARCH 332, ARCH 342 and ARCH 344. These include framed and trussed structural systems, daylighting, elevators, and the use of concrete, masonry and building envelope materials. The role of the building site and context is explored. Projects include the acoustical design of a small auditorium. An emphasis is placed on a sustainable approach to designing integrated systems. Students will analyze historic precedents as a basis for design. Prerequisite: ARCH 0301.
-
3.00 Credits
1st Semester. Lect. 3, 3 credits. This course, the first in a two-course sequence, covers the materials and methods related to wood, masonry and steel construction. A historical overview of these materials is provided. Their role in sustainable design is presented including embodied energy and green building materials and processes. The course content is presented in such a way as to be directly applied in the congruent ARCH 0301 design studio. Prerequisite: ARCH Professional Program admittance or CSMT 0102 (CSMT students only).
