  • ARCH 560: Integrated Building Delivery Practice/BIM

    3.00 Credits
    Illinois Institute of Technology

    Architecture has always been a complex interdisciplinary business, where the management of allied professions and industry affiliates is critical to the success of any endeavor of significant scale. The introduction of BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an advance in project delivery tools which should be viewed as a multi-dimensional expansion of the mechanisms of management and accommodation of an ever-broadening range of participants in the organization of a project, allowing the development of a new delivery protocol, IBPD (Integrated Building Project Delivery). BIM is currently recognized as consolidating the basis for a range of functions including drawing, modeling, document management, clash detection, interdisciplinary coordination, estimating, scheduling, constructability review, production modularization, fabrication protocols, and for the analysis of myriad physical and proscriptive demands such as energy consumption, daylighting, code compliance, egress, circulation, and operation scenarios. The breadth of information embedded in a BIM model will require the emergence of facilitating professionals to an extent previously unknown in the practice and the industry. This course explores the state of the profession and the anticipated ramifications. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department

  • ARCH 561: Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Architecture

    3.00 Credits
    Illinois Institute of Technology

    The course teaches future architects the practical aspects of entrepreneurial small business management, to develop a comprehensive opportunity assessment and to develop the skills necessary to improve the odds of success. The course will consider strategies to leverage limited resources for maximum effect. The course will also cover small organization and group behavior, performance, leadership, and motivation in small business settings and will focus on the owner/manager as the principal success factor in the context of a small organization. Emphasis is placed on the circumstances and opportunities of the professional practice of architecture: practice as profession, process, organization, business, and evolving models of practice are covered. The course also provides a series of concepts, frameworks, and heuristics that enable the entrepreneur to anticipate and deal with the challenges that accompany growth of an existing business. Cases, exercises, lectures, and speakers are used to focus on choosing opportunities, allocating resources, motivating employees, and maintaining control while not stifling innovation. A key component of the course is how to sustain entrepreneurial thinking in mid-sized ventures as they continue to grow. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department

  • ARCH 562: Planning Law and Land Policy

    3.00 Credits
    Illinois Institute of Technology

    Since the introduction of basic zoning laws to the numbers and complexity of ordinances attached to any land parcel have proliferated to include those addressing land use, development, density, environmental concerns both on and off site, aesthetic mandates, energy use, quality of life concerns, and infrastructure development, the growing understanding that comprehensive and integrated systems must be managed across property lines to effect sustainable planning and communities will accelerate the number of prescriptive and policy ordinances enforced at the development of a parcel. Many agencies have further created extra-legal linkages between approvals for land development and the provision of social and ideological benefits to the community. The impact on the profession of Architecture of the panoply of planning options and governmental goals is the result that the navigation of the system of mandated design determinates is one of the initial and potentially most creative acts in the process of project delivery. Project designers must understand the ramifications and trade-offs inherent in the system, especially in any attempt to achieve the best use of any parcel of land and position the most appropriate built environment. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department

  • ARCH 563: Introduction to Real Estate Finance Fundamentals

    3.00 Credits
    Illinois Institute of Technology

    The Art of the Deal, with the emphasis on Art, is a term best positioning the financial structuring behind any project. The ability of the project team leader in integrated practice to understand and appreciate the motivations and opportunities inherent in the initiation of the project will be essential in guiding team decisions and maintaining a leadership position. The understanding of the financial underpinnings of a project is of paramount importance to those intending to actually engage the process of initiating and effecting a construction activity. The sources, costs, and sequence of funding, budgeting, cash flow, incentives options, and tax ramifications regarding a project are to be addressed as component knowledge to an understanding of integrated project management. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department

  • ARCH 564: Comprehensive Opportunity Assessment and Entrepreneurship Development Project/Practicum

    20.00 Credits
    Illinois Institute of Technology

    Two options are available to the student for the acquisition and assimilation of the breadth of knowledge required to bring project ideas to fruition: The Comprehensive Development Project is a capstone effort which will demonstrate project concept, planning resolution, land acquisition strategies, estimating, scheduling, financial pro-forma, and value capture intents. The Practicum would entail employment at a vetted office engaged in the actual process of project assembly. A position requiring a minimum of 20 hours per week, prior review and approval of the work plan, and submittal of documentation of the work undertaken would be required for this scenario. The ultimate objective is to provide a roadmap of the interaction between the architect-entrepreneur, market opportunities, and integrated building delivery practices which facilitate the development of student skills necessary to compete in a rapidly changing socio-economic environment. This course is designed to help students learn and use tools and frameworks to create, implement, and update a strategic plan to shape the future and guide an entrepreneurial organization on its path to success. This course will entail collaboration with real world organizations, including city agencies, community development corporations, IIT Department of Community Affairs, or private developers. 6. 000 Credit Hours 6. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department

    Illinois Institute of Technology

    The organization of deliverables from the multiple participants in a project plan, including estimating, quality control, value engineering, scheduling of work, conflict resolution, pay schedules, and project close-out and commissioning are essential to managing a building project. Many of these areas of endeavor are those most directly impacted by the developments addressed in Integrated Building Delivery Practice. This course will solidify the underpinnings and will amplify, where needed, the requisite understanding in these areas of the practice. The development of managerial skills requisite to the practice of this coordination and the basis of developing inter-professional relationships will be stressed throughout the incorporation of the technical methodologies. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Business, Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department
