6.00 Credits
A comprehensive study of common construction materials and methods of fabrication and erection employed in building construction. Sources, methods of manufacture, and uses of materials are covered. There are two different studio sessions with this course: the materials studio sessions familiarize students with physical characteristics and uses of materials, performance of standard tests, and preparation of technical reports while; the design/drafting studio involves the detailing and drafting of construction assemblies. Hand drafting and CAD are both used in the latter studio . 4 hours of lecture, 3 hours of materials testing studio, and 3 hours of detailing studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC- 1010 and ARC-1021.
-
3.00 Credits
Through photo slide lectures and small group seminars, the student is introduced to architectural design philosophies and construction systems that have developed over the ages. Influences such as social, political, religious, economic, and technological advances are traced from the first significant works of humans 5,000 years ago through the present day. A major concentration is worldwide development since the 18th century, particularly in America, and its significance to today's society. Small group seminars provide an opportunity for the student to join in follow-up discussions of lectures with the objective of developing visual perception and knowledge of aesthetic principles from a view of architectural history. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers advanced instruction in computer-aided drafting and design for architecture. There will be combined lecture and studio sessions in the use of productivity modules to improve two dimensional plan/detail construction drawings, threedimensional building models, and presentation rendering. 6 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-1021 and 2051.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the natural environmental influences upon building design and construction as well as the principal internal necessities for human habitation including sanitation, heating and ventilating, and mechanical requirements in small buildings. The laboratory session reinforces the lectures by teaching the student how to design plumbing and heating systems for a small residential scale building. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of studio per week. Co-requisite: PHY-1043.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a continuation of Environmental Systems I. Broad-scale aspects of mechanical, electrical, and sanitary systems are investigated and studied as applied to larger buildings and groups of buildings. Other topics covered include electrical and lighting design, the impact that building codes and other regulations have on buildings, and current environmental topics affecting society today. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-2031.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a combination of several distinct areas in the building construction industry. One half of the course is comprised of an introduction to fundamental surveying principles and methods, including distance measurement, angular measurement, and elevational differences. Instrument practice and care for levels, electronic distance measurement instruments, and total station equipment are introduced. Other topics studied are: terminology, computations, developing site plans, and construction layout. Another part of the course covers topics in construction estimates and records including estimating, take-offs, and pricing for both residential and commercial construction. A third part of the course covers construction management principles including scheduling practices, contracts, general conditions, and specifications. 2 hours of lecture, 3 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-1210.
-
3.00 Credits
Individual design projects are developed by the student from conception to presentation under faculty supervision. Problem solving and the process of design are taught and reinforced throughout the semester. Graphic techniques for design drawings are a major emphasis in this course. Building types covered range from small artifacts through the house to a small public building. Throughout the course, graphic and oral communication of goals, methods, and solutions are emphasized. Some projects are presented by the student before a jury of architecture faculty and practicing architects. 6 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-1010, 1210, and 1220. Co-requisite: ARC-2031.
-
3.00 Credits
The course design project is located in a Vermont town. Input in the planning and design process is received from proposed users of the building and local officials.Projects have been done throughout Vermont. Existing conditions and constraints are explored in-depth as a prelude to design. Students then respond to the building program on a specific site. The architectural program is then developed and appropriate design responses generated. Throughout the course, oral and graphic communication and presentation skills are developed as appropriate. Students work in teams on these projects to simulate real world working dynamics. The course terminates with the presentation of projects before a jury of architecture faculty and architectural practitioners. 6 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-2051.
-
0.00 Credits
This lecture/seminar course for sophomore students concentrates on developing knowledge and skills used in the workplace and throughout the student's life. Topics include job skills, continuing education, office practices, and soft skills. 1 hour of lecture per week. Prerequisite: Sophomore Standing.
-
3.00 Credits
The intent of this course is to concentrate the student's design thinking toward the areas used in Architectural Engineering, particularly in the integration of environmental and structural systems into the building design. The course complements the Architectural Engineering curriculum by introducing students to the design of sustainable low-energy systems in small buildings, and by providing tools for analysis in the schematic phase. 6 hours of studio per week. Prerequisite: ARC-2032, 2051, CET-2120.
