-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Thesis studio
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to building systems and the methods of construction used to realize design in built form. First half of the course will be an overview of the primary systems, materials and principals used in construction of buildings and the fabrication of elements, through lectures and accompanying lab sessions. The second half will be an explanation of the means by which information is communicated from designers to fabricators, current standards in the practice of architecture, and practice's relation to changes in methods of fabrication and project delivery.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Elementary structural analysis for architecture students covering statics, strength of materials and approximate methods of analysis, including historical examples.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to the design of building structures of steel, timber and reinforced concrete.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The course will introduce students to the current state of facade design and engineering as an emerging integrated discipline and for students to develop an understanding of the global facade industry. Discussion will focus on the multi-faceted and changing role of the architect in enabling and leading the necessary collaborative process that is required to collectively achieve common goals in a discipline that is both essential to the artistic expression of building and which is highly technical in every regard.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The first part of a sequence taught over two terms that provides a broad introduction to Building Systems, Environmental Control and Energy Conservation. Sustainable design themes and environmentally responsible practices are stressed throughout and form a backdrop to all the instructional material provided. The fall course focuses on fundamental concepts and provides an introduction to Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Lighting, Acoustical and Life Safety systems. ARC 515, taught in the spring, considers the design process and the integration of these systems into buildings.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Study and evaluation of mechanical and electrical system applications for different building types, including air conditioning, electrical, plumbing and telecommunications. Emphasis on design integration with architecture and structure within the construction process including sustainable design and energy conservation. Introduction to vertical transportation, life safety systems, and intelligent buildings. Emphasis on a conceptual approach using case studies and field trips.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This is a course that studies relationships between the cinema and the city. Since 1895, the cinema has imposed its representational forms and points of view on the city, until consciousness of the city has come to resemble its cinematic representations. Simultaneously, expansive suburban growth, massive skyscraper development, urban renewal and reconstruction projects, the architectural spectacle and theme parks have transformed the form of the city. This course examines the relationship between these two forms of mapping the city: cinematic representation of urban space and architectural representation of urban form.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Course examines the constitutive and regulative rĂ´les played by place, space, and situation in the production of knowledge. Key terms, including fact, fire, experiment, observation, and representation, will be critically assessed in and through readings from the discourses of architecture, history, and science. Sites for study include museums, laboratories, gardens, and the indeterminate arena of field science.
