2.00 Credits
Introduction to architectural research and emerging technologies as an essential component for changing architecture. A survey of people and organizations involved in research, design, prototyping, and use of emerging technologies. The emphasis is on exploring how emerging technologies impact architectural design and construction. Current issues and ideas are identified by the class and are explored in a series of student-organized in-depth seminars with leading designers, scientists, and inventors. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 2
-
1.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of the essentials for architectural acoustics design of performance and public spaces, including concert halls, theaters, museums, classrooms, sports arenas, courtrooms, and religious buildings. There are no prerequisites, but the course may be used as the starting point for a certificate in Architectural Acoustics, a concentration in an architecture student's professional electives, or the beginning of a master's degree in acoustics. The course covers basic principles of sound, room acoustics, sound absorption in rooms, sound isolation and privacy, acoustics of mechanical systems, and sound quality. After both Architectural Acoustics 1 and 2, the student should be prepared for a basic entry-level position in either acoustics in architecture or in acoustical consulting.When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4

2.00 Credits
In the spring semester, students will have the opportunity to design their own performance hall. This process will include continued studies of acoustics measurements, simulated sound fields, community noise issues, and professional practice in acoustics consulting. The course will also have detailed lectures on concert hall acoustics, sound quality, and synthesized sound fields. Students will be introduced to a variety of simulation software and measurement equipment in the Acoustics Research Laboratory. After both Architectural Acoustics 1 and 2, the student should be prepared for a basic entry-level position in either acoustics in architecture or in acoustical consulting. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 4840 or instructor approval. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
2.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the concepts and methods of applied psychoacoustics as used for architectural acoustics and for audio engineering. These concepts include fundamental hearing phenomena, basic hearing models, spatial hearing, psychoacoustical experimental techniques, and statistical analysis. Experimental techniques include pair comparisons, ABX-testing, multidimensional scaling, parametric and non-parametric statistics, among others. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 2
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Individual projects and readings adapted to the needs of individual students at the advanced level. Credit Hours: 1 to 6
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Experimental courses tried out in one or two terms as the general program requires. Credit Hours: 1 to 4
-
1.00 Credits
An individually initiated, planned, and developed comprehensive project that creatively engages the material inhabited world. The semester begins with a five-week architecture competition and includes a research/methods seminar that is common to all students. The competition is followed by an integrated design research phase under the guidance of a final project adviser and two reviewers. In that phase, each student initiates, prepares, and develops a project for completion in ARCH 4990. For students in the B.Arch. program only. When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually. Credit Hours: 6
-
2.00 Credits
The final phase of B.Arch. students, final project-a comprehensive investigation that engages the material inhabited world. The students continue and complete the integrated design research phase of an approved project that was initiated in B.Arch. Final Project 1 (ARCH 4980) under the guidance of a final project adviser and two reviewers. For students in the B.Arch. program only. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 4980. When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually. Credit Hours: 6
-
1.00 Credits
Case studies - investigations into architectural knowledge. Selective architectural works will be deconstructed in order to uncover the knowledge invested in them. Case studies will be subjected to modes of inquiry that will reveal their deep content from conception to realization, including the mental frameworks of the designers, the methods of representation, the technological knowledge employed, the methods of production, and the ingrained cultural values, to develop methods of inquiry that will enable them to pursue similar investigations of any architectural work. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
2.00 Credits
Architectural and urban environments are analyzed and explored so as to reveal significant but not obvious content. The precise topics vary but always address important issues. Currently they address the environmental performance of buildings and the role that spatial order/organization of urban environments plays in the construction of social practices, human subjectivities and technologies of power. Topics alternate every other year. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ARCH 6110. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
