3.00 Credits
S. Richards. Through the course of several projects students will be introduced to the methods, tools and techniques of working with wood, metal, plaster, and plastics. This is a ‘hands-on’ class with the intention of giving the student a basic understanding of the logic of making things from a practical perspective. Satisfies: [E]
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Advanced integrated topics in materials and methods of construction, structural systems, and environmental systems, taught through case study and analysis. Satisfies: [R]
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. Co-requisite: Integrated with DSGN 320. Comprehensive integration of building systems into building design. Satisfies: [R]

3.00 Credits
B. Mouton, D. Harmon, S. Richards. Co-requisite: ATCS 632 and APFC 432. As an integral component of the URBANbuild program, students design and construct a prototypical house for neighborhoods in partnership with community non-profit agencies that specialize in affordable housing and neighborhood redevelopment. With the leadership of highly qualified architectural design faculty, and under the supervision of a general contractor, students complete the full-scale management and construction of one single-family or multi-family home in an under served New Orleans neighborhood. In the construction phase, students gain first hand knowledge of the construction process including project management, field crew management, construction planning and strategizing, safety issues, fundraising, schedule coordination, archives/public relations, website development, materials research, budget, purchasing and inventory, engineering, working drawings coordination, and detail and specifications coordination. Students will be responsible for foundation, framing and all general construction tasks excluding special technical trades such as electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems which will be handled by licensed subcontractors. Satisfies: [E]

3.00 Credits
D. Harmon. A research seminar focusing on new materials and technologies being employed in current architectural practices locally, nationally, and globally. The seminar will be directed to gain insight and give exposure to little know or under utilized innovations through specific materials research and data gathering, case study applications research, and hands-on speculative testing/demonstration. Research will explore building components and tectonics, the material and spatial implications of computer technologies, prefabrication and mass production, as well as smart systems and green building. The course will be both practical and experimental in nature. Satisfies: [E]

3.00 Credits
J. Klingman. The course offers an opportunity to explore two major areas of building technology in greater depth. The first of these is sustainable design. While the concept of sustainable design is widely lauded, fundamental principles and techniques of implementation are less clearly understood. Sustainability will first be investigated regarding issues at the scale of the site, linking place and building. Subsequently sustainability at the scale of building systems and materials will be a major focus. The second focus of the course is tectonics, consideration of the physical conditions of architecture, including the logical application of materials and systems. These issues will be considered first in the relation between structure, envelope and finish conditions, particularly at the building perimeter. Subsequently, the interweaving of systems within the building and their expression will be the topic. Note: This course is an extension of the material from the required technology sequence, and the completion of that sequence is a prerequisite for admission to this course. Satisfies: [E]

3.00 Credits
C. Coker. The seminar would pose the question, is it possible to make a non-anthropocentric architecture? This seminar attempts to define and develop a model of an ecocentric architecture, redefining the way we currently build against the backdrop of environmental issues and larger ecological imperatives. New Orleans and its environs will act as a laboratory to explore these ideas. Satisfies: [E]

2.00 Credits
Staff. Co-requisite: Integrated with DSGN 110. This course introduces students to various drawing techniques in a variety of media including freehand drawing, mechanical drawing techniques and model building. Students will also be introduced to descriptive geometry, and methods of orthographic, axonometric, oblique and conical projection drawing. Satisfies: [R]

Staff. Co-requisite: Integrated with DSGN 120. This course furthers students’ abilities to conceptualize, represent and manipulate three-dimensional forms in space. Students will expand their repertoire of drawing and material techniques developed as tools for the design, construction and analysis of architectural form and space. Satisfies: [R]
