1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Experimental courses tried out in one or two terms as the general program requires. Credit Hours: 1 to 4
-
4.00 Credits
This lecture-seminar is an examination of the parallel historical formation and operation of human settlements together with the territories associated with them, and the interrelations among them in Western Europe, North America, China, the Middle East, and North Africa. The purpose is to better understand the role spatial organization plays in the construction of social practices, human subjectivities, and technologies of power. While the differing paradigmatic notions of architectural and landscape practices will be explored in each cultural situation, the emphasis will be on the formative processes operating at all scales and among scales, and the more general design practices that have emerged, and could emerge, from these understandings. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ARCH 2110, ARCH 2120, ARCH 2130, ARCH 2140, ARCH 2230, and ARCH 4140. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4

4.00 Credits
The seminar will analyze twentieth century pioneers of reinforced concrete as well as their contemporaries in art and sculpture. The analysis will consist of a general survey of the work of a particular architect, engineer, or artist, followed by an in depth formal analysis of one of their projects. A new project will then be developed in order to speculate on the contemporary implications of these principles in conjunction with new instruments of computation. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces the essential components of landscape planning from a design perspective. It will introduce methods for visualizing and interpreting landscape patterns, including the suitability analysis approach espoused by Ian McHarg and colleagues, the language of American landscape ecology, and Kevin Lynch's place legibility concept. Synthesis of this regional information will then be used to develop a focused understanding of sustainable design implications at the site level. When Offered: Sping term annually Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
An exploration of the idea of modernity as both a cultural phenomenon (extending back to Enlightenment ideas of progress, technological enframing of the world, scientific rationality, historical consciousness, etc.) and as an artistic/architectural discourse unfolding in the 20th century as a radical requestioning of all traditional concepts of program, construction, and aesthetics. As such, this is both a theory and a history course. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ARCH 2120 and ARCH 2130. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
(Urban Design Studio) An upper level design studio emphasizing the interacting combinations of dynamic influences arising from both global and local scales in the design of portions of the urban landscape, usually including some substantial housing compon Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 2230. When Offered: Fall and summer terms. Credit Hours: 6
-
5.00 Credits
A series of upper-level design studios that focus on significant concerns in architecture. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ARCH 4240 for ARCH 4250. ARCH 4300 may be taken after ARCH 4250. When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually. Credit Hours: 6
-
2.00 Credits
A technology-based design studio emphasizing the materialization and making of architectural design projects. The integration of building code requirements for fire protection, life safety, accessibility, building environmental systems, structure, construction, and materiality is central to effectively achieving design intent. Students become aware of how these affect and inform design decisions. They learn to integrate technology, systems, and materials in the comprehensive resolution of building design and gain exposure to construction documents and design documentation. Construction and site visits are an integral part of the studio as is an integrated electronic media seminar on CAD applications. Students must coregister for ARCH 4540, a concurrent 2-credit course that introduces codes, the regulatory process, agreements, contract documents, building design cost control, and administration. This course maybe taken any time after ARCH 4250. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ARCH 4250, ARCH 4330. ARCH 4740 may be taken as a prerequisite or corequisite. It is recommended that ARCH 4740 be deferred one semester for students studying abroad only (ex: China) and take ARCH 2360 as a corequisite. When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually. Credit Hours: 6

2.00 Credits
This course builds on the material presented in Structures 1, with an emphasis on the analysis and design of structures compressed primarily of steel and site cast and pre-cast concrete, with an overview of load-bearing masonry and advanced systems. The theoretical concepts covered in the introduction course form the conceptual basis for work in Structures 2, with relevant new concepts/techniques covered. Innovative, non-normative structural systems are investigated and discussed. Analysis and design will proceed using primarily computer-aided techniques. The course approach will involve in-class presentations, homework and project work, computer lab, field trips, and case studies. WebCT will be used to expand the student's access to course materials and allow for a measure of distance learning. Sustainability: The following notions are introduced as important attributes of sustainable structures and construction: structural robustness, and programmatic flexibility. (Design optimization approaches are introduced and explored as avenues to accomplish more optimum design conditions under increasingly strict design constraints.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ARCH 2510 except M.Arch students, ARCH 2350, ARCH 2330. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
(Urban Design Studio) An upper level design studio emphasizing the interacting combinations of dynamic influences arising from both global and local scales in the design of portions of the urban landscape, usually including some substantial housing component as well as facilities for the public realm. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 2630. When Offered: Fall and summer terms. Credit Hours: 6
