An introduction to building systems, including simple wood and masonry construction. Assemblies of various building components will be studied. Concepts of energy conservation will be related to building construction. In the studio sections students will develop construction drawings of simple building assemblies based on case study analysis.
Entry to fourth semester.
Spring only
3 hr./wk.
In this core architectural design studio, students engage a range of exercises crucial to the formation of an architect, from developing inspiring and appropriate design concepts to the exploration of building assemblies and materials, and how to integrate this knowledge into design for diverse contexts.
Fall only
8 hr./wk.
This is the third of a four-semester sequence that examines the physical forms of world architecture and related arts. It analyzes the built environment in response to place, politics, culture, and the people who use it. This semester, students will study architecture in the 19th and early 20th centuries in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. Two lectures and a recitation section are required weekly.
FIQWS or exemption.
Fall only
3 hr./wk.
A survey workshop in the relationship of physical development to land forms. The student will deal with the basic principles of site planning, environmental and ecological factors of siting, building, grading, drainage, site structures and materials.
Entry to second year. FIQWS or exemption.
Fall only
3 hr./wk.
Introduction to structural materials including steel, concrete, and wood. Basic principles of analyses and design with respect to various materials.
Fall only
3 hr./wk.
This course will concentrate on the technology of medium to high-rise buildings of steel and concrete construction. Case studies of specific buildings will be used to help students expand by analysis their knowledge of a particular group of design applications and appropriate environmental responses of building systems.
Arch 24501.

In this final core architectural design studio, students engage in the integrative design of a building, including detailed documentation. Drawing on knowledge and skills gained in technology courses, they will synthesize structural, mechanical, environmental, and material systems and assemblies into a developed work of architecture.
Spring only
8 hr./wk.
Behavior of structural systems including gravity and lateral load paths in buildings; Seismic effects.
Spring only
3 hr./wk.
This course will focus on the performance of buildings relative to environmental impact and operational response. Starting with the building's skin, systems will be understood as being in contact and in manipulated exchange with the thermal, luminous and acoustic environment surrounding them, to serve the ambience and comfort of the interior. Basic knowledge of exchange, distribution and regulation will be related to construction systems. The goal is to integrate structural, mechanical and spatial requirements to make appropriate choices during the design phase.
Spring only
3 hr./wk.
For students in the third and fourth years who wish to pursue advanced study or research in selected topics. Students must obtain written permission from a faculty member who becomes the mentor for the student or students, as to the study plan and the number of credits.
Permission of the Department.

Advanced computing course that focuses on the utilization of digital de-sign and fabrication processes in architecture. The course emphasizes how computational tools have evolved and impacted architectural design through methodologies in scripting, simulation, fabrication, and robotics. Students will be introduced to nascent technologies and techniques that encourage and promote computational design thinking. Principles such as algorithmic design, data management, and digital workflows will provide the underpinnings for creating drawings, models, and visualizations.

A well-tempered interior environment is supported by heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical and lighting systems. The approach of this course will focus on the building’s core and interior distribution systems, allowing students to understand the building as a regulated environment. Since the artificial support of this environment is based on energy- consumption, the ability to predict and monitor the systems’ performance will be used to help make appropriate choices during the design phase.
3 hr./wk.
Students will be placed in one of an array of diverse advanced studio offerings, developed to provide students opportunity to deeply engage topics within the expansive discipline of architecture, and reflective of the expertise and interests of the full design faculty. Studio project sizes, types and sites will vary, along with pedagogical methods. Course is repeated four times in sequence to meet program requirements. Repeatable up to 3 times.
