  • ARCH 3050: Architect'l Comm I

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course will introduce the application of analog and digital media, verbal and visual communications, architectural graphic standards, and representational techniques in the architectural design and communication process. Beginning with simple processes, the class will regularly introduce additional media while establishing proper workflow and best practices between various platforms. Through the course assignments, students will be challenged to expand their creative and conceptual approach to incorporating drawing and media into their design process through the intelligent use of appropriate tools to create well-crafted, evocative, and highly informative representations of your designs. Architects have at their disposal a myriad of media that can aid in the development of their designs. However, none of these tools is capable of doing all the tasks required nor are many of them specifically geared toward architecture. Students and practitioners often appropriate tools from the graphic design, computer animation, and manufacturing industries to meet their needs. This class will address these various tools and discuss the best way to use them individually and more importantly in combination toward their successful implementation in the design process. Students must concurrently enroll in ARCH 3010 and ARCH 3216. Prerequisites: Full Major status in Architecture.

  • ARCH 3210: Surv-World Architctr I

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This undergraduate course provides an introduction to the history of key tourist sites across the world from the ancient settlements of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East to the uneven urban development in Europe and the Americas during the Quattrocento. Examples reflect on the interface of oral and religion-centered worlds with the printing press, principles of humanism, and Islamic and European colonialism. The goal is to provide an insight into the roles that buildings have played in shaping human interactions and encourage students to translate this knowledge into subtle strategies for studio design and engagement with historical sites. It will give participants the knowledge necessary to read historic buildings. It will teach them how to critique historical texts, and pose alternative readings of canonical buildings. This is a writing, reading, and comprehension intensive course and aims to provide training in all three areas.

  • ARCH 3211: Surv-World Architctr II

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Survey of world architecture since the sixteenth century to the contemporary. Students will develop an understanding of architectural history from a global perspective and a professional vocabulary to discuss historic precedents. They will be able to identify different elements of historic buildings; list the shifts and changes in the built environment; compare and contrast the contributions of different civilizations to history of architecture and the history of ideas; examine the conceptual components of global history from 16th Century CE to today; and determine the nature of relations between different civilizations.

  • ARCH 3215: Islamic ARCH in Global

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course situates the spatial and architectural expression produced by Muslim societies from seventh century to present in a global context. One the primary objectives of this course is to complicate the narrative of history and modernity as it has been told form the perspective of the European experiences by putting the experience of the Islamic world at par with it. At the end of the course, the undergraduate and graduate students will know key architectural vocabulary, religious terms, and pivotal historical moments pertinent to the topic.

  • ARCH 3216: Crit Concepts in Design

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Students will learn how to construct, propose, research, and analyze architectural questions, and will develop critical understandings of varied architectural theories and their relationship to practice, so as to be able to position themselves within the profession and civic society. The coursework includes reading, analysis, presentation, and discussion of key texts of architectural theory in order to develop a critical understanding of architectural theory within the context of culture and society. To understand the relationships between forms of representation, architectural ideas, construction, and spatial experience, students will learn the strengths and limitations of architectural drawings (plans, sections, elevations, etc.) and other forms of representation (such as photographs and digital and physical models). Students must concurrently enroll in ARCH 3010 and ARCH 3050. Prerequisites: Full Major status in Architecture.

  • ARCH 3375: Fndtns of Bldg Tech II

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Building Resilience - Foundations of Building Technology II - builds on the basic principles that describe how the physical world works in order to understand how buildings can be designed and constructed in accordance with the natural environment, daylight, and passive and active systems. With a continuous and strong emphasis on sustainable and resilient solutions, the course examines fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and mechanisms of heat flow in its first Module, to continue into Module 2 where energy consumption and thermal comfort in buildings are discussed. Module 3 is an in-depth exploration of daylight and artificial light use in buildings. The class concludes with Module 4, in which passive and active means of building performance are investigated. Many of the aspects and topics covered in this class can be directly applied to the accompanying ARCH 3011 studio. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in ARCH 3611.
