3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 528G, Arch 529G. Aesthetic, social, cultural and technical developments in American architecture and planning, from colonial times to the mid-20th century.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 528G, Arch 529G. Examination of major architectural traditions and styles of China, Japan, Southeast Asia, India and the Middle East.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 528G, Arch 529G. Seminar on Western architectural theory dating from Vitruvius to the present time. Examines critical texts and studies related building and projects.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 528G, Arch 529G. The historical role of infrastructure in the formation of cities and the relation of planning theories to urban culture. Case studies are used to develop effective ways of learning urban design; method and substance are equally emphasized. Concentration on the social, economic, political, technological and topographic factors that affect urban form; analysis of urban design schemata and their relation to patterns of use; and the critical appraisal of planning ideologies and strategies. Same as MIP 631.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 528G, Arch 529G. Theory and practice of preservation planning. Compares American and European preservation concepts, problems and techniques. Also covers theories on continuity and change in urban environments, and preservation-planning for community development and neighborhood conservation.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Arch 528G, Arch 529G. Considers creativity in architecture from psychological, philosophical and autobiographical perspectives. The buildings writings and lives of contemporary architects are discussed in the context of general theories of creativity. Each student chooses an individual architect noted for creative accomplishments and prepares a case study of his or her life.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 528G, Arch 529G. Survey of the development of building methods and materials. Impact of structural and environmental technology on architectural form and the design process. The role of technology in contemporary architectural theory and practice including the modern movement is emphasized. Recommended for students who select building science as their area of concentration.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: completion of core sequence or equivalent. Architectural acoustics: how we hear, physics of sound and materials, aesthetics of design and the processes of construction. Audible sounds, their interaction, perception of echo and directional hearing are applied to interior and exterior building transmission, room acoustics, and setting acceptable acoustical environments.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: completion of core sequence or equivalent. Architectural form through model design, construction and testing of minimum structures, including elements of soap film study, orthogonal and diagonal grids, design of tension grids through deflection loading, photoelastic models and calculation. Also compares geometric systems, patterning and proportion, symmetry, asymmetry, relative size, nesting, linearity and spiral orders, rectilinear patterns, and randomness in architectural structure and form.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 501G, Arch 502G, Arch 503G, Arch 523G, Arch 524G. Through modeling and calculation, influence of the luminous environment on architectural form and detail. Perceptions of visual comfort and daylight are examined. Topics include daylighting footprints, model design and testing, and computer-assisted, light-level analysis. Relationship between daylight and artificial light in architecture, variations of light with time, analysis of seasonal and weather differences, role of task in lighting strategies, and means of control for light quantity and quality.
