  • ARCH 5680: Lessons of the City

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    This course explores the relationship between cultural values and urban form, introducing students to a body of literature and projects examining the various historical, social, political, regulatory, economic and physical conditions, which influence the design of cities. Through lecture, selected reading, class discussion, individual and group projects, and field trips this class examines the history, theories, and practices that have influenced the development of cities from antiquity to the present. Much of the discussion is on the evolution of the American city; using a field trips as a means to explore first hand urban environments

  • ARCH 570: Some Assembly Required:Research and Development

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    This course functions as research and development seminar - the research and development initiatives will consist of three distinct and critically interdependent phases: first, case study analysis and interpretation; secondly, development of issue-specific project proposal; and thirdly, innovative advancement of research topic. In consultation with the course instructor, each research initiative focuses on a specific topic of building construction. Building materials, fabrication technologies, components, assemblies and systems are all potential areas of investigation. It is important to note that although the course emphasizes that each student's investigation find its locus in a specific aspect of building construction - i.e. hybrid material composition, component fabrication processes, cladding assembly sequencing, mechanical system distribution or site staging - the research is also required to speculate on how overall building systems would be affected by the innovation of a specific material, fabrication process, component assembly, or system integration.

  • ARCH 5700: InfoLab: Laboratory for Visualizing Information

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    The design process has become an essential filter of all types of information. Due to contemporary forms of communication and media, this process has now been charged with the task of gathering, filtering, comprehending, processing, interpreting, forming and representing information in a clear and coherent manner. This laboratory seeks to introduce its participants to various modes of forming and representing information, qualifying, quantifying and visualizing it with the ultimate goal of familiarizing themselves with contemporary representational techniques and creating new visualization tools.

  • ARCH 5710: Photography and Digital Media

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    This course seeks to give students the ability to conceive and create digital photographic imagery with control and sophistication. Topics include fundamentals of photography, color theory, digital control of visual qualities, and methods of image montage for both still images and short animations. Methods include production and presentation for both printed hard copy and for the World Wide Web.

  • ARCH 574: Depth of Surface

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    Construction systems and material selection must be a generative process not a reactive application. What are the possibilities for the Depth of Surface to exploit the tension between internal criteria and external forces & context? The fundamental issues of buildability must be driven by a sense of 'what do you want to see?' as well as the pragmatic - with the detail reinforcing, not diluting, the whole. How can overall composition, form, performance and structure of building envelope come together (via detail) within a specific conceptual context? (Y)Credits: 3

  • ARCH 5750: Drawing and Composition

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    This course covers the fundamentals of drawing with a focus on the human figure. The assignments address line, tone, volume, space, scale, proportion and artistic expression. The analysis of human form (inside and out) is applied to rendering buildings, interiors, still life and landscapes.

  • ARCH 5760: Drawing and Sketching

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    This course will cover the fundamentals of drawing with a focus on the human figure. It will address line, tone volume, space, scale, proportion and artistic expression. The analysis of human form will also be applied to rendering still-life, buildings, interiors and landscapes. Various wet and dry media will be introduced to illustrate the drawing objectives. An emphasis on ‘process’ will direct the momentum of this course.

  • ARCH 5770: Drawings and Collages

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    In this course we make collages, drawings, and mixed media projects. Rather than distinguishing collage and drawing as separate categories, we explore their exciting in-between territory. We make plane (and plain) images: configurations of relatively stable, still marks on two-dimensional surfaces. We use traditional drawing methods (graphite, colored pencil or ink on paper) as well as more unusual tools and materials (sidewalk chalk, earth, trash, recycled materials). Through brief weekly readings and discussions we explore the relationship between aesthetics and ethics¿between “good forms” and forms that in some way contribute or allude to the “common good.”

  • ARCH 5780: Painting and Public Art

    3.00 Credits
    University of Virginia-Main Campus

    In this course we make paintings and mixed media projects. We stress the process rather then the artistic product and, like artist Sol LeWitt, define painting ‘as an activity on a flat plane.’ We make plane (and plain) images: configurations of relatively stable, still marks on two-dimensional surfaces. We use traditional methods (watercolor or ink on paper, acrylics on canvas) as well as more unusual tools and materials (sidewalk chalk, earth, trash, recycled materials). Through weekly readings and discussions we explore the relationship between aesthetics and ethics¿between ‘good forms’ and forms that in some way contribute or allude to the ‘common good.’
