4.00 Credits
This foundation course focuses on building the landscape using the elements, principles and theories of architectural and landscape design. Concurrently, specific theoretical issues related to design, organization and the interrelationship of interior and exterior space are explored. A particular emphasis is placed on an experiential and intuitive design process. The importance of the building "parti" as aresponse to naturally occurring context is stressed. Techniques of representation are developed and refined. Prerequisite: grade of "C" or better i n ADFN D-102
-
4.00 Credits
This foundation studio concentrates on general issues concerning "dwelling" and specific issues addressing housingand residential design are explored. Emphasis is placed on designing in the urban context. This course uses research, writing and analysis of human patterns of occupancy and settlement as a means of exploration. The use of computergenerated drawings as a component of the final design project is encouraged. Prerequisite: grade of "C" or better in ARCH-201
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines how environmental factors affect building construction. Students will compare traditional and sustainable materials and energy systems to understand the implications of their design decisions. The course will focus on mechanical systems, the exterior envelope and the interior finishes. Prerequisite: ARCHDSN- 210
-
5.00 Credits
This is one of two topical studios, occurring in the third year of the architecture and landscape architecture curriculum, which begins the five-term professional design sequence. This is a building-block studio which reinforces design principles learned in earlier semesters, while introducing students to increasing complexity in both program and construction type. Special emphasis is placed on the design and organization of exterior space as created by buildings, built elements and landscape elements. The primary philosophic underpinning of the studio is design within an ecological context, including a thorough introduction to the principles of sustainable design. Prerequisites: 5-year B.Arch. or BLA major; ARCH-211 or LARCH- 207; grade of "C" or better in ARCH-202 o r LARCH- 202
-
5.00 Credits
This topical studio is an exploration of the integration between individual buildings and urban design. The course focuses on creating community within the city. Students investigate socio-cultural and environmental aspects of the city as they relate to architecture. The studio includes discussion of architectural history, theory and principles as the basis for the making of architecture and urban form. Prerequisites: 5-year B.Arch major, AHIST- 206, grade of "C"or better in ARCH-202
-
2.00 Credits
This course presents an overview of structural materials and their properties and basic structural systems, and introduces the fundamental concepts of statics and strength of materials. Students engage in abstract analysis of structural elements and determinate force systems, and experiment with basic principles as applied to simple components. The material includes vector analysis; properties of geometric sections; flexural and shear stresses; beam reactions; and diagrams for loading, shear and moment. Prerequisites: MATH-103 or MATH-111, PHYS-101, ARCH- 211
-
2.00 Credits
This course continues the development of fundamental concepts introduced in Structures I. Students are introduced to the concepts of buckling, truss analysis, calculation of lateral forces and analysis of lateral-force effects as they impact the design of wind- and seismic-resistant structures, and preliminary foundation design. Prerequisite: ARCH-309
-
3.00 Credits
During the period of the 1960s through the 1970s, architecture was both very radical and very expensive with only a few examples on the European landscape. Since the beginning of the 1990s, this has changed and Europe is showing strong signs of renewed vitality with an increasing number of outstanding buildings and bridges. This course will explore the different cultural, social, political and economic reasons associated with these changes in a variety of locations throughout Europe. Corequisite: STUAB- 300
-
3.00 Credits
This advanced digital elective course focuses on the direct correlation between digital techniques and the design process. Complex three-dimensional modeling, rendering, animation, design visualization and presentation are emphasized in the course methodology. Using a variety of softwares, students complete a series of exercises of increasing difficulty leading to a final project that demonstrates the culmination of the skills developed throughout the semester. Prerequisite: ARCHDSN- 208
-
3.00 Credits
This advanced, computer-aided design, elective course focuses on complex three-dimensional modeling, photo-realistic rendering and virtual reality; with an emphasis on using 3-D Studio Advanced modeling and rendering software. Interactive media and digital imaging are introduced in order to increase the effectiveness of student presentations. Students complete a series of specifically designed exercises of increasing difficulty leading to a final project of the student's choosing from a concurrent or earlier design studio. Prerequisite: ARCHDSN- 208
