4.00 Credits
[Prereq: ARC 1301.] This course continues the emphases and topics studied in Design 1.1, with increased expectation with regard to graphic and spatial manipulation ability. Students study exemplary works of art and architecture, beginning the process of developing an understanding of the role history plays in their own creative explorations. By the end of the course, site and the human being are part of the design environment. Exercises engage only a few carefully selected architectural variables at a time.
-
3.00 Credits
[Prereq: ENC 1102.] An introduction to contemporary architectural theories, their evolution and their historical basis.
-
4.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 1302.] The course focuses on the development of inhabited space, including considerations of generic site, climate, and human comfort for simple indoor and outdoor spaces. Students extend the lessons of systems learned in first year to study of basic building parts--floor, wall, and roof. The use of plan/section/elevation and models incorporating the human dimension is the main vehicle for these explorations. This course offers the opportunity to make links, in the form of a joint project, to the theory course and the introduction to technology course.
-
4.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 2303.] In this course, students study sample buildings on specific sites that they are able to visit. The student's design process is carefully structured through a series of exercises within a particular design project. Students are introduced to and are expected to use in their designs ordering systems based on circulation, structural support, function, climate, and context. Precedent, technology, and aesthetics begin to play a part in the development and evaluation of design solutions. The course offers the opportunity to link to Architectural History I and build on the framework of ideas put forth in the first theory course.
-
3.00 Credits
Basis for upper-division courses in structures, environment technology, and materials and methods of construction. This course introduces themes that cut across these technology areas such as the response of buildings to the natural and built environments, strength and durability in building materials, and quantitative methods of analysis and design of building assemblies and support systems.
-
3.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 2470, PHY 2053, MAC 2311.] This course covers structural concepts and principles of structural behavior. Included are the elements of statics and mechanics of material: concurrent and noncurrent force systems, moments and couples, equilibrium, centroids and moment of inertia, stress and strain, shear and moment diagrams, elastic column buckling, flexural and shearing stresses in beams, and truss analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 1211.] A critical exploration of the history and theory of architecture from antiquity through the end of the 13th century. This course examines the making and intent of significant buildings and sites tracing the developments that have given meaning to the built environment and brought order to the tectonics of architecture. Open to non-architecture students and fulfills humanities requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
[Prereq. Upper-division standing.] Introduces students to the use of digital media for architectural design through specific drawing and modeling applications. The computer as a concept, the computability of design, and computers as design/modeling tools are areas of emphasis. Generation, manipulation, and reproduction of two-dimensional and three-dimensional architectural models using digital media are stressed.
-
3.00 Credits
[Prereq. Upper-division standing.] A critical exploration of the history and theory of architecture from the 14th century to the present. This course examines the making and intent of significant buildings and sites tracing the developments that have given meaning to the built environment and brought order to the tectonics of architecture.
-
5.00 Credits
[Prereq. Upper-division standing.] The important issues from the first two years of design are revisited within the context of small buildings or building complexes with multiple uses and specific sites with distinctive site features. Design exercises are structured to allow for teaching design processes and to ensure that students engage all issues of a project. Students are expected to begin to develop meaningful alternative responses to important design issues and to begin to evaluate these alternatives.
