-
3.00 Credits
In this course you will learn how plumbing systems are designed to manage waste disposal from the building; how power is supplied and controlled in a building envelope; and how illumination elements are designed to minimize environmental effects.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will focus on heating, air conditioning, ventilation, and conservation of energy. Students will learn methods of load calculations done manually, using tables to calculate heat transfer coefficients for any type of construction, determine temperature differences required by codes or by good practice, compute the size of equipment, piping, and ducts which will be appropriate to the building type and use and available fuels. Simple residences or small commercial buildings will be analyzed for HVAC systems and plans will be prepared to guide the contractor for installation. Specifications for the work will be studied and written. Costs of fuels will be compared to optimize selection. Energy recovery and conservation will be practiced in the system designs. Pre-requisite: ARCP 244.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a holistic introductory treatment of architecture and the built environment for architecture and non-architecture majors. The emphasis is on the examination of world-wide cultural belief systems and other factors that have had a major impact on the man-built world. The organized design professions are reviewed and their value systems examined. The course also exposes the student to the issues of sustainability and climate change, and the role those factors are playing.
-
5.00 Credits
This course builds on the first two years of technical design studios. This course will offer challenging design problems crafted to expose the student to the design analysis process used to study design situation in the urban context. The application of zoning and building codes to the building outcome is expected. You are expected to bring the skills developed in the preceding studios as you conceptualize solutions to architectural problems. Pre-requisite: ARCP 202.
-
5.00 Credits
The analysis process will be applied in the development of a design concept. The students are expected to learn how to integrate the various disciplines that affect the shape, form and structure of the building. Life safety issues and the architectural responses will be learned and applied to given design problems. Students are expected to understand how the structural systems are applied in the context of the given building type. Pre-requisite: ARCP 301.
-
3.00 Credits
The influences of people, their actions, and choices on the built environment will be discussed in this course. The development of shelter, architectural space and sacred places from prehistoric times to the Gothic Cathedrals will be explored. The influences of economics, politics, culture, technology and philosophy shaping the built environment throughout thousands of years of human civilization will be explored.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will study the built environment; the design of buildings and spaces from the Gothic Period through modern times. The development of the major schools of architectural thought will be explored. The shaping of the built environment by technology will be explored. The student will learn how the major design philosophies and schools of thought influenced our modern day treatment of the built environment. Pre-requisite: ARCP 321.
-
3.00 Credits
Analysis of statically determinate beams and trusses, methods of determining deflection of structures, influence lines, and application for moving loads and indeterminate structures including continuous beams and frames are pursued. The course presents the classical methods of structural analysis needed to analyze statically determinate and indeterminate structures. It aims at providing the necessary analysis foundation for the design courses that typically follow this course in the traditional architectural engineering curriculum. Pre-requisite: ARCP 231.
-
3.00 Credits
This course reviews the concepts of stresses and strength of materials: moment, shear, equilibrium, inertia, static loading versus dynamic loading, and torque. This course allows the student to develop the necessary skills to understand the primary elements of load calculation, load transfer, and load tables as it relates to steel construction and specifically steel frame construction. The AISC codes are employed in computations. Pre-requisite: ARCP 331.
-
5.00 Credits
This studio is a continuation of Laboratory IV with the emphasis shifting to the cost and time management control aspects of building design and production. The student will undertake two architectural designs of mid-size building types on primarily urban sites located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The architectural design problems will be set to assure that the student reaches a basic level of competence in addressing the problems associated with architecture within an urban context. The two projects will vary in time and scope. *The problem(s) set in this studio challenge the student to search for, coordinate, and consolidate the basic systems (structural, environmental, mechanical, etc) with special emphasis on development of their own design process and philosophy. Pre-requisite: ARCP 302.
