Summer 2012 Course List for Architecture

This course is an introduction to construction processes, focusing on wood, steel, masonry, concrete materials and their related assemblies.

This course introduces passive environmental design emphasizing sun, wind, daylight, heat flow, insulation/mass, visual comfort, thermal comfort, shading, climate, natural ventilation. The course uses ecotect software for thermal analysis.

This course begins with the history of building structures, continues by introducing structural behavior, forces and responses in structural systems, and concludes with an introduction to static structural analysis.

Prerequisite: Arch 164. Utilizing knowledge and skills gained in Introduction to Design I and II, students learn about architectural design. Examination of the technological, social and environmental issues as they relate to architectural design. Lecture hour used to explore in-depth aspects of architecture.

Prerequisite: Arch 263. A continuation of Arch 263. Lecture hour used to explore in-depth aspects of architectural design.

Introduces structural statics through timber and steel design. Influences of materials and structural system choice analyzed relative to their impact on building design. Responsibilities of the architect during the structural design phase are introduced.

Prerequisites: completion of the third year studio class, approval of the school and permission of the Office of Cooperative Education and Internships. Students gain major-related work experience and reinforcement of their academic program. A designated faculty member monitors and evaluates the student's work and project. Requirements include mandatory participation in seminars and completion of a report and/or project. Apply in third year.

Prerequisite: Arch 155, Arch 264. Gives students advanced techniques for architectural expression, including Chinese ink wash and air brush techniques. Emphasis on how drawing may be used to reveal the inner qualities of design. A basic knowledge of drawing methods, media, materials, and projection techniques is assumed.

Prerequisite: Arch 223. This course surveys enclosure joints and assemblies, including roofing, insulation, doors, windows, glass and hybrid systems. It also focuses on interior and exterior finishes and their construction methodology and documentation, including Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Prerequisite: Arch 227. This course focuses on active mechanical systems related to environmental controls including HVAC, plumbing, electrical and alternative energy systems. Additional areas covered include, elevators, electric lighting and acoustics. The course continues the use of ecotect software as an analytical tool.

Prerequisite: Arch 229. This course examines lateral forces, foundations, stability, deflection, long spans and special case structural systems. Methodology involves advanced static structural analysis.

Prerequisite: Arch 264, Arch 223, Arch 227 and Arch 229. This course is a continuation of Arch 264. Lecture hour explores the nature of technology, environment, and social order as they relate to studio work. Course materials purchase required.

Prerequisites: Arch 363. A continuation of Arch 363. Lecture hour explores in depth the nature of technology, environment, and social order as they relate to studio work. Students will be required to purchase course materials.

Prerequisites: Arch 310 or approval of the school and permission of the Office of Cooperative Education and Internships. Provides major-related work experience. A designated faculty member monitors and evaluates the student's work and project. Requirements include mandatory participation in seminars and completion of a report and/or project.

Prerequisite: Arch 323. This course focuses on non-normative systems, hybrid and integrated assemblies and new materials. An emphasis is placed on systems integration, materials selection, specifications and construction documents associated with the comprehensive design of buildings using Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Prerequisite: Arch 329. This course focuses on wood systems analysis, steel systems analysis, indeterminate systems and integrated structural systems. Methodology involves finite member analysis.

Prerequisite: Arch 463. Studio methodology allows students to select from various building programs, the nature of design dealing with technology, environment and the social order.

Prerequisites: Arch 382. An examination of the major forms and patterns of urban development from classical antiquity to the 20th century, considered in relation to the changing conceptions of the city as well as cultural, socio-economic, and political development.

This course is an introductory survey of the general principles and application of Sustainable Design, Site Systems, Structural Systems, Environmental Systems, Envelope Systems, Materials and Assembly Systems. This course will primarily focus on low-rise wood and steel structures.

Continuing Systems I. This course is an introductory survey of the interrelationship of the principles and applications of Sustainable Design, Site Design, Structural Systems, Environmental Systems, Envelope Systems and Materials and Assembly Systems. This course will primarily focus on low and medium-rise concrete and masonry structures and is coordinated with a studio design/build experience.

An introductory survey of the basic principles of building, environmental control, and service systems as these relate to the building envelope. This course will primarily cover thermal enclosure, climate modification, environmental systems, energy use, and sustainable design. It also introduces the principles of health and safety in the design of buildings.

This is an intermediate course focusing on the understanding of the principles, performance criteria, and applications of environmental and building service systems including lighting, acoustical, plumbing, electrical, vertical transportations, egress, communication, security, and fire protection systems.

This is an intermediate course focusing on the principles of structural behavior in withstanding gravity and lateral forces and on the evolution, range, and appropriate application of structural systems and the criteria for selecting various structural systems in contemporary architecture. Specific architectural procedents from the 20th century are used as validating examples.

This is an advanced course focusing on the integration of all building systems including new materials and methods as they relate to high-rise structures and other specialty building types.
