3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Seven field days, 48 hours lecture. Based on initial trip of one week per 48 hour lecture. Subsequent trips will vary.) This course is for anyone interested in cutting-edge design, and particularly for architecture, interior, landscape and set design students working in this 21st century. We will visit inspiring examples of the latest in architectural design in various cities such as Los Angeles, Dallas and Berlin. We will also visit the seminal masterpieces that lead up to these works. By actually visiting these sites, students will gain crucial understandings of: 1. how architects approach a site, 2. how they satisfy programmatic requirements in inventive ways, 3. what forms they use and why, 4. how it feels to be in and moving through the created spaces, 5. what are the conceptual underpinnings of projects, and 6, how the totality of design works in such architect designed elements as furniture and landscape design. These intensive field trips will include lectures, visits to architectural sites, drawing, discussion, and personal exploration. (CSU)
-
4.00 Credits
(4.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This design course explores fundamental principles and issues of architectural design through the use of abstract design projects. Students interested in architecture, interior design, landscape design, engineering, building construction, gallery or theatre design, sculpture and other fine arts create their own design solutions, moving from beginning sketches, through development, to final models. Students learn to develop architectural vocabulary and thinking in a group studio environment, and address formal, symbolic and contextual concepts of architecture. (CSU/UC)
-
4.00 Credits
(4.0 Units) (Prerequisites: Architecture 110 and 120. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This design course explores local urban and rural architectural design projects through the use of lectures, design projects, site visits, individual and group critiques, model building and drawings. Human needs, social factors, public/private issues, contexture, historic precedent, and aesthetic perception will be emphasized. Students will learn about design methodology, site and program analysis and presentation techniques. Students further address formal, symbolic and contextual issues of architecture. (CSU)
-
4.00 Credits
(4.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This course will introduce students interested in interior design, architecture, engineering, building construction, landscape architecture, and other design related fields to the fundamentals of architectural and freehand drawing. Students will learn hard line drafting skills and architectural conventions. They will learn the appropriate applications for the following architectural drawings: plan, section, elevation, paraline, and perspective. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of drawings in the communication between designers, clients and builders, and on the relationship between three dimensional form and its two dimensional representation on paper. (CSU)
-
4.00 Credits
(4.0 Units) (Prerequisite: Architecture 120. Advisories: Architecture 110 and 130. May be taken concurrently. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) A practical intermediate course in architectural drafting. Course involves applying basic drafting and lettering techniques, architectural projections, detail and working drawings, and the basic understanding of wood frame construction to the solution of a variety of practical architectural and construction problems. Portfolio of blueprints required at the end of the semester. (CSU)
-
4.00 Credits
(4.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) Students in this course learn how to make beautiful and convincing drawings and models of their designs for presentation to clients, design review boards, peers, publications and competitions, among other uses such as their own study needs. Students interested in architecture, interior design, landscape design, engineering, building construction, gallery and theater design and other fine arts will all enjoy and benefit from this course. Working from their own designs or from those of others, students will learn rendering techniques including the use of graphite, ink, watercolor, prismacolor and computer techniques. They will study how to make presentations specifically designed for the projects they are presenting, including where to take perspective views to best show off their projects, appropriate use of graphics, color, layout and scale, and what type of model to present if relevant. Students will learn how to work both individually and in teams, simulating the office environment. (CSU)
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture hours weekly.) This course provides a foundation for future architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and city planning courses. It explores the basic elements of architecture and the built environment including form, organizational principles, context, materials, and the sensory qualities of design. The design process and professional practice are also addressed. Emphasis is placed on the process of developing one's personal approach to design, the ways in which people experience architecture, and the relationship of architecture to society. (CSU/UC)
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture hours weekly.) Students in this class will learn the architectural history of the College of Marin campus and of the current Capital Improvement Program. They will also learn the architectural modernization processes involved in carrying out the CIP and will follow the ongoing progress of design and construction. Emphasis will be placed on the sometimes conflicting needs of various stakeholder groups and the impact of these needs on the physical design of the campus. In addition, students will research the impact of the plethora of governmental requirements on the design and construction of new buildings on the College of Marin campus. (CSU)

4.00 Credits
(4.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Advisory: Architecture 120. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) Students will learn the basic skills needed to produce 2-D presentation and construction drawings for architecture and similar disciplines using the computer. Emphasis will be placed on using software tools to create drawings that effectively communicate the intention of the designer to clients and builders; on organizing information within the drawing environment to simplify the production and revision of drawings; and on building the skills necessary to produce drawings efficiently. The class will be taught using Vectorworks software. The basic concepts and skills apply generally to all CAD software applications. (CSU)
