-
5.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 3324.] The second term of third year emphasizes working within a specific context, both in terms of a site in an historic setting and in terms of the materials and logic of building. It offers the opportunity to link with the history course on modern architecture by locating a design project in a setting being studied in the history course. The course also incorporates a hands-on experience with building materials and systems that relates to a design project for a specific climate and topography.
-
4.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 2304, ARC 2470, upper-division standing.] Technical principles governing the construction and behavior of building enclosure in the design process. Principles framed within the context of issues important to present and anticipated future built environment.
-
3.00 Credits
[Prereq. Upper-division standing.] Structural analysis and behavior. Determinate structural systems. Design of timber and steel elements.
-
4.00 Credits
[Prereq. Upper-division standing.] Mechanical systems: thermal comfort, indoor air quality, active and passive climate control approaches, energy utilization, fire protection, sanitation systems. Technical problems associated with providing quality environments for human habitation.
-
3.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 3207.] An in-depth study of critical positions in 20th century architectural thought.
-
3.00 Credits
[Prereq. Upper-division standing.] Survey of the relationship between the design disciplines (specifically, design in architecture) and general science, planning, art, and other human modes of knowing and interacting with reality. The course aims at increasing student understanding of the concepts of design, planning, creativity, science, art, philosophy, and their role and relationship to architectural design. Methods and techniques for improving skills of problem analysis and problem-solving, creativity, critical thinking and judgment, evaluation, communication about design problems, information-gathering and analysis, dealing with design difficulties, and negotiation and conflict resolution.
-
5.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 3325, ARC 3463.] The first term of fourth year emphasizes accountability in terms of working from a theoretical position grounded in history and precedent and from the idea of the detail as a form determinant. The course includes an out-of-town trip to see examples of the work being studied.
-
5.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 4341.] This term has two emphases. The first is to bring together the lessons of the previous design courses in the comprehensive design of a building of moderate size, possibly in the context of a competition. The second is to study large, complex buildings culminating within an urban setting in a design project that focuses on the organization of all the parts of such a building and its relation to the historical/cultural and physical context.
-
3.00 Credits
[Prereq. ARC 3551.] Indeterminate structures and analysis and design of reinforced concrete elements and systems. Fundamentals of pre-stressed concrete, lateral forces, and resisting systems.
-
4.00 Credits
[Prereq. Upper-division standing.] Daylighting and electrical lighting, architectural acoustics, electrical and communications systems, and mechanized circulation systems. Technical problems associated with providing quality environments for human habitation.
