3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Arch 331. As in architecture, the parallel discipline of landscape architecture involves artistic intention set in conjunction with utilitarian concerns. As such, designs on the land include the integration of the arts and sciences of human culture with nature. Discusses landscape as a manifestation of American culture.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Arch 384. Covers advanced material in structures related to steel and wood design including: steel industrial buildings, rigid frames and earthquake design, wood structures under axial loads, and combined bending and axial loads.
-
3.00 Credits
Follows two precepts: accepting responsibility for the consequences of design decisions upon human well-being, and the long-term viability of natural systems. Topics include sustainable site design and development, environmentally sensitive building materials, lifecycle cost benefit analysis of building systems, and adaptive reuse.
-
3.00 Credits
Pre-requisite: Arch 242. Explores the relationship between an architect's design intention and the construction document. Design a small building or addition and complete construction drawings of the design. Addresses problems and procedures encountered by an architect during the construction documents phase.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 241, Arch 242, Arch 342. 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: Arch 386 and Arch 387 or equivalents. Explores, through modeling and calculation, the means by which architectural form and detail influence the luminous environment. Perceptual responses such as visual comfort and delight are examined. Topics include daylighting footprints, model design and testing, and computer-assisted light level analysis. Areas of investigation include the relationship between daylight and electric light in architecture; the 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.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: senior standing. Technological systems involved in the construction and use of buildings. Students conduct in-depth investigation of technology-related problems in architecture and construction. Case study method is used. Construction documents and reports are analyzed. Field visits are required.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 386, CIS 104. Considers the "building envelope, the boundary dividing the inside of a structure from the outside environment. Study and design optimal enclosures considering energy exchange, the relationship between energy and light, and life cycle costs.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: senior standing. Evaluation, utilization, and development of computer programs for analysis, simulation and information management. Programs range from energy analysis, building structures analysis, and mechanical systems design to spatial allocation, graphics and computer-aided design. Different theories of information transformation and delivery used in terms of architectural applications. Course hardware ranges from computer-aided design and drafting systems, through micro and mini, to mainframe computers.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Arch 386, Arch 387. A variety of life safety and comfort situations studied in terms of specific building types. Topics include building evacuation, compartmentalization, fire fighting and suppression, evaluation and testing of new building materials and systems, systems control and management. Special emphasis is on such building types as multi-use, high-density, schools, hospitals, and other institutional categories.
