3-0-3 The course concentrates on the major historical movements and theoretical concepts which describe each period from pre-history through Baroque. Lectures will explore ways of interpreting built forms, sculpture and painting so that specific building projects can be understood in the context of the major issues that are central to each period. Extensive reading is required for the purpose of engaging in class discussions that will interpret both the concepts presented and the specific built forms discussed. Interior spaces and their connection to the concepts discussed will attempt to illuminate the relationship between the container and the contained. Coreq: ENGL 101.

3-0-3 This course follows the same format as ADC 221, but will concentrate on the modern world from the late 17th century through the present. Interior design will be explored in greater depth in order to respond to its emergence as an independent discipline. In addition to an expanded discussion of interior design, students will read original texts and treatises pertaining to the major theories presented. At this point students will be expected to demonstrate an ability to interpret both written and visual information presented in the course.

3-0-3 (Eff. FL21) This course will provide a broad introduction to the structural design of buildings. After introducing basic structural member types and material properties, a survey of the historic development of various structural systems will be provided. Prereqs: ADC 101 and FNMT 118 or higher math.
Prerequisite:
Prereqs: ADC 101 and FNMT 118 or higher math.
-
3.00 Credits
2-2-3 Introduction to quantification of building components including blueprint-reading, take-offs, application of unit costs and development of computer based spreadsheets.
-
3.00 Credits
2-2-3 This is the second of two courses that cover the principle and practice of construction cost estimating. It builds on the first course (ADC 236), using computerized methods to produce the detailed cost estimates that contractors use to determine the cost of construction for commercial and residential projects. The course covers the role of estimating and bidding in the construction industry. It also introduces cost-benefit analysis, which encourages sustainability by determining the true cost and value of a building throughout its life. Prereq: ADC 236
Prerequisite:
ADC 236
-
3.00 Credits
3-0-3 Study of the purposes, structure and provisions of contemporary construction industry contracts. Relationships among owners, architects and other design professionals, general and subcontractors, and vendors and suppliers are reviewed in detail. Students learn to adjust standard contract formats and specifications to tailor them for individual projects, according to C.S.I. procedure.

3.00 Credits
3-0-3 ADC 253 is an overview of environmental control systems used in modern buildings, focusing on mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, sustainability, and energy issues. Students will gain a basic understanding of and foundation in these systems and their design. Through application and practice, students will learn the interrelationships between systems and approaches to integrating them into building design and construction. Prereq: ADC 101 and ADC 103 or . ADC 109.
Prerequisite:
ADC 101 and ADC 103 or . ADC 109.
-
3.00 Credits
3-0-3 Components and systems used to control the environment of modern buildings are studied, expanding students' knowledge of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems. Specialized building systems are also studied, including fire protection, vertical systems, signaling, and communication. Additionally, students will gain an understanding of specialized topics related to sustainability, including alternatives to traditional MEP systems. Students will become prepared for the LEED Green Associate Examination. Prereq: ADC 101 and ADC 103 OR ADC 109.
Prerequisite:
ADC 101 and ADC 103 OR ADC 109.
-
4.00 Credits
3-5-4 Studio course devoted to the design of commercial and institutional projects. This studio introduces students to increased programmatic and contextual complexity. The socio-cultural, environmental, and behavioral aspects of architectural and interior design are emphasized through an examination of public buildings, how they are used and how they are perceived. This design studio continues the development of the student's ability to understand, interpret and respresent acrchitectural spaces. Projects will culminate in a juried presentation.
-
3.00 Credits
2-2-3 This course assists students in preparing effective presentations of design and documentation work, both for transfer to baccalaureate programs and for career placement. Student portfolio needs will be individually evaluated and assessed with regard to professional and career goals. Students will learn skills necessary for the design, development, and dissemination of digital portfolio presentations. Students will create professional development plans and job search materials and strategies.
