4.00 Credits
Covers all facets of warp-knitting technology with particular emphasis on the variety of machines and fabric construction in relation to end-use applications and markets. Tricot and raschel warp-knit fabric constructions are made in the knitting laboratory to illustrate the basic warp-knit stitches and lapping motions. A variety of warp-knit fabric samples are analyzed to illustrate basic fabric geometric parameters used in the design and production of warp-knit constructions. Also, students are required to research a unique warpknit process/product. Prerequisite: KNIT-201
-
3.00 Credits
An exploration of the principles involved in knit design using CAD systems and electronic-knitting equipment. Students will design, write computer programs and knit their own fabrics on sweater- and jersey-knitting equipment. Fabric constructions such as Jacquard, links-links, cables, pointelle and presser-foot designs will be developed. Prerequisite: KNIT-203 or permission of the instructor
-
3.00 Credits
(for non-Textile Design majors) An elective course in which students may explore the development of knit design. Design ideas will be developed on hand equipment through to swatch/sketch proposals suitable for product design. Students can take this course as a single elective and develop design work suitable for inclusion in their portfolio or take further knit-design electives in order to further their skills. Cannot be taken as a replacement for KNIT-201.
-
4.00 Credits
The focus of this studio is sustainable large-scale planning and design. Students explore land-planning theories, methods and resources used in landscape analyses for sustainable settlement, preservation or management of the land. Natural, cultural and experiential data are integrated into the decision-making and design processes. Prerequisite: grade of "C" or better in ARCH-201
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, the student gains proficiency in various landscape architecture graphic conventions used in generating, evaluating and presenting design ideas. Included are principles and application of graphic language, color theory, diagramming, plan and section graphics, and oblique and perspective drawings. Prerequisite: DRAW-101 or permission of the director
-
3.00 Credits
This is the second course in a four-term sequence in the history of landscape architecture. This class surveys key examples of landscape architecture from the central, eastern and western regions of the world, produced from the 8th to the 19th centuries. Students acquire a working vocabulary for analyzing and evaluating the designed landscape through the study of natural and built landscapes, architecture and interior spaces, as well as painting and decorative arts. Prerequisite: AHIST- 205 or permission of the director
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the principles and techniques of landform manipulation for design and drainage. Students develop an understanding of contours, contour manipulation and site-construction methodologies. Topics include topographic and grading problems in landscape engineering: drainage plans, grading plans, spot elevations, road alignment, sections and profiles, and cut-and-fill calculations. Prerequisite: ADFND- 102 or permission of the director
-
5.00 Credits
This studio focuses on community design with the physical environment viewed as a catalyst for community enhancement and revitalization. Issues include community identification, social cohesiveness, social, economic and political factors, the role of open space in urban neighborhoods, and community safety and livability. Emphasis is placed on learning methods and techniques for developing physical-design solutions and implementation strategies when working with school, neighborhood and community groups. An important component of the experience is community participation. Prerequisite: grade of "C" or better i n LARC H-202
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to a range of viewpoints, concepts and characteristics of human behavior that should be considered during the design process. Cultural, social and psychological factors are examined. Various theories and methods of environmental assessment and design are studied that are based on an understanding of mutually supportive relationships between people and their physical environment. Prerequisite: LARCH- 202 or ARCH-202 or permission of the director
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the third of a four-term sequence of history/ theory courses. It surveys key examples of landscape architecture from the mid-19th century to the present time. Students strengthen their vocabulary for analyzing and evaluating the designed landscape. Students are also introduced to the influential personalities, projects, events, concepts and thoughts that were pivotal in the philosophical and ethical development of the profession of landscape architecture. Prerequisite: LARCH- 206
