-
3.00 Credits
An advanced course in state-of-the-art architectural rendering, graphic, and CAD applications. Students through a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, and drawing problems, learn advanced visual representation skills to generate architectural renderings, presentation, and portfolio quality images. Prerequisite: ARCH 220 or permission of instructor. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Intermediate-level design investigations based upon the generation of architectural solutions with particular emphasis on formal, functional, and materialization concerns. Projects and exercises focus on the analysis and synthesis of built form with investigations into historical precedents; human factors; site, environmental, and contextual influences; and identification of materials. Prerequisite: ARCH 235 or permission of instructor. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the history of architecture and the design concepts that are the building blocks of architectural history from prehistory to the Baroque period. The course surveys the traditional or "canonical" architectural works of Western Europe,the United States, Asia, and the Middle East. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Survey of architectural history, including built form, design theories, construction technologies, and social, political, religious influences from the Gothic period through 1960s. Examines the architecture of Western and non-Western civilizations. Lectures, quizzes, exams, and oral presentations serve as methods for gaining knowledge of transitions in architectural history. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Designing Passive and Active Solar Systems for buildings, performance modeling, and advanced building science. Includes basic principles, performance calculations, design optimization, architectural integration of solar energy systems, air quality, and moisture control. Students design combined solar systems applying principles of advanced building science. Prerequisite: ARCH 260. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Designing mechanical and electrical systems in the context of high-performance buildings. Course applies scientific principles in designing water-supply systems, heating, cooling, electrical services, lighting, and sound control, extending the understanding of healthy buildings design. Emphasizes the principles and concepts to help students design a variety of systems while creating healthy buildings. Prerequisite: ARCH 260 or permission of instructor. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis of structural systems in static equilibrium. Begins with fundamental physical laws and progresses to equations of forces and moments on rigid bodies, the analysis of frames, trusses, and internal forces and moments in beams, and loading diagrams and geometrical analysis of building loads. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced architectural design of complex building programs. Emphasis on analysis and synthesis of design solutions, including aesthetic principles, satisfaction of programmatic and human concerns, integrating forms in urban or natural context, and identification of appropriate building tectonics. Research is performed on building type and relevant architectural references. Prerequisite: ARCH 330 or permission of instructor. Spring.
