This course trains students in the practice of translating of Arabic texts from a wide variety of genres into English. Attention will be given to both theoretical and practical problems of translation for research and professional ends.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Advanced readings in modern Arabic literature. Major emphasis on syntax and the accurate understanding of authentic material. Also some readings for overall understanding, with discussion in Arabic.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits

-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The objective of this course is to provide a broad overview of the discipline of architecture: its history, theories, methodologies; its manners of thinking and working. Rather than a chronological survey, the course will be organized thematically, with examples drawn from a range of historical periods as well as contemporary practice. Through lectures, readings, and discussions every student will acquire a working knowledge of key texts, buildings and architectural concepts.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The first in a series of design studios offered to students interested in majoring in architecture. The course will introduce architecture as an "impure'' plastic art, inseparable from a network of forces acting upon it. The student will be confronted with progressively complex exercises involving spatial relations in two dimensions, three dimensions, and time. The course will stress experimentation while providing an analytical and creative framework to develop an understanding of structure and materials as well as necessary skills in drawing and model making. Two three-hour studios with lectures included.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course sets out two goals: the first is to understand the theories and techniques of geometry in architectural representation; the second is to develop the student's drawing sensibilities through 5 thematic drawing projects engaging both digital and manual techniques. Each new theme will be introduced through a lecture, tutorial, and discussion including a number of specific readings related to the topic at hand. The second class will be an individual desk crit to discuss the development of each drawing project. The third class will consist of a group pin-up review of each drawing experiment.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will explore the relationships between architectural discourse and the visual arts from the historical avant-garde to the present. Architectural discourse will be considered here as the intersection of diverse systems of representation: buildings, projects, drawings, but also architectural theory and criticism, exhibitions, photographs, professional magazines and the popular press. The visual arts will be seen to include not only painting and sculpture, but also photography, cinema, fashion, advertisement and television.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course offers a history of architectural theory, criticism, and historiography from the Renaissance to the present, emphasizing the texts, media and institutions that have supported architecture's claim to modernity since the late 17th Century. Architectural thought is examined in its social and cultural context as it relates both to the Western philosophical tradition and to design method and practice.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the art and science of building. Emphasis will be placed gaining an understanding of construction materials, methods and the process of translating design ideas into built form. Specific topics are introduced each week during the two one-hour lectures. These topics are then further explored, and students gain hands on experience, each week during the two-hour laboratory component of the course.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to computational design using a range of techniques from NURBS modeling, simple programming and parametric modeling to basic digital fabrication. Through a series of computational exercises, presentations, and in-class discussions, we will investigate the evolving relationship between models of design and generative design issues of technology and culture in architecture.
