3.00 Credits
Two-week introduction to architecture for rising juniors and seniors includes morning programs and introductory lectures in history and theory of architecture, computing and simulation, freehand and extreme drawing, building ecologies, building conservation, and construction systems. There will be field trips and career counseling. Afternoons will have individually critiqueed (tutored) design studios, group and individual projects, reviews, and public presentation. Acts as an opportunity for career discovery to decide whether a design education in architecture is appropriate. Summer term annually. Dates TBA. 9:00 - 4:00 pm. When Offered: Summer term annually. Credit Hours:

3.00 Credits
Similar structure as the Beginners program. The Advanced program will continue to cultivate design foundations explored in the Beginners course. Dates: TBA. 9:00 - 4:00 pm. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH-1200. When Offered: Summer Term Annually.
-
1.00 Credits
This course addresses the history of architectural and related developments in selected Western and non-Western civilizations to construct a conceptual and strategic understanding of the relationships between architecture, geography, culture, technology, and thought. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4

2.00 Credits
This course expands upon notions introduced in ARCH 2110 that architecture is a practice embedded in human cultures characterized by particular ways of thinking in action. In addition, notions that its domain of interests, physically and intellectually, extends beyond the limits of individual buildings are elaborated through specific examples. This is done against the background of the major shift in intellectual developments beginning in the 17th century that provide stimulus for the scientific, cultural, technological, and social revolutions of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Unlike ARCH 2110, this course for the most part, does not proceed in a chronological fashion. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites ARCH 2110. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 2

Contemporary practices in architecture are examined and used as foils in order to better understand one's own individual approach to design. The point is to help uncover some of the self-evidently "true" presuppositions that we all make when we design. By knowing what we take for granted and knowing also that others work with presuppositions which may be substantively different from our own, we begin to realize both our ability to exercise choices and our responsibility to think through the consequences of those choices. Each of the approaches is explored as to its ontological, epistemological, value, and methodological presuppositions. Two very direct questions help in this reflection: What relation does the given approach have to the formative conditions of the contemporary city and, How does each of the design approaches relate to the American experiences in thought and actionPrerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 2120. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 2

3.00 Credits
This course builds on the content and ideas of ARCH 2110 and 2120 to examine the history of architecture in medieval and Renaissance periods of Western civilization. In doing so it will examine the implications of these developments for the architecture of later eras as well as the chronology of specific important events in the time period from the 9th to the 17th centuries. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 2120. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 2
-
4.00 Credits
Design studio introducing students from all disciplines to general design through a series of short projects. The projects stress critical and creative thinking and invention, interdisciplinary collaboration, observation and perception, communication and visualization. Students will begin open-ended investigations using sketching, photography, model making, and computing. When Offered: Fall and summer terms. Credit Hours: 4
-
1.00 Credits
Design studio introducing students to the processes of critical inquiry specifically as it relates to architecture investigations. These processes are seen as interrelated and always informed by the societal, technological, and historical contexts within which architects work. Parallel instruction in drawing, computing, and construction technology are integrated within the work of this studio. Technology 1: The technology aspects focus on discovering the basic systems used to create space, such as structural systems, enclosure types, and systems for movement. Emphasis is placed upon constructability and sustainability. These discoveries are through hands-on applications and field visits. Computing: Explorations with the computer focus on both the development of a fundamental knowledge of 3-D modeling and 2-D image manipulation software and a nontraditional application of this knowledge to design representations. The computer media (3-D modeling "space," computer printouts, video projections) are conceived of as yet another "physical" material for experimentation, and are integrated in this way with the studio design projects. Drawing: The drawing segment consists of freehand drawing exercises that relate to studio projects and help students develop basic drawing skills and a familiarity with two-dimensional design conceptWhen Offered: Spring and summer terms annually. Credit Hours: 6

2.00 Credits
A continuation of the pursuit of architecture as critical inquiry within a broad societal context. Instruction integrates considerations of drawing, computers, and construction with design projects. Technology 2: The technology aspects focus on the microclimate and environment context, including shade and shadow analysis, developing skyline plots, and sharing system design and analysis, as well as outdoor environments with emphasis on structure, material, and passive solar systems. Computing: explorations with the computer continue to focus on developing knowledge of 3-D modeling and 2-D image manipulation software and its application to design representations. Computer media are integrated with studio design projects. Drawing: freehand drawing exercises related to studio projects further develop basic drawing skills and familiarly with 2-D design concepts. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 2210. When Offered: Fall and summer terms annually. Credit Hours: 6

3.00 Credits
Architecture Design Studio 3 develops practices that focus on the relationship between specific architectural design situations and issues of representation; conceptual, analytical, and critical thinking; ethical dilemmas; and the role that technical issues play in space-making. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 2220. When Offered: Spring and summer terms annually. Credit Hours: 6
