ARCH 511L Seminar: Building Systems (4, Fa)
Study of construction
system development within the architectural design context; processes and
issues of selection, evaluation, optimization, integration, design control,
and innovation. Prerequisite: departmental approval.
ARCH 513 Seminar: Advanced
Structures (4, Fa)
Issues and problems in
the development of structural systems for buildings; design criteria, system
choice, design development, optimization, subsystem integration.
Prerequisite: departmental approval.
ARCH 515 Seminar: Advanced Environmental Systems (4,
Fa)
A course on graphic and
empirical methods that integrate technology and design. Lighting and Lighting Design are currently
used as the case examined. Students build
and measure models and then learn the graphic conventions used by lighting
designers to match technology to design.
ARCH 611 Advanced
Building Systems Integration (4, Sp)
Design criteria and
occupancy based load profile development, assessment methods of material
selection and construction processes, performance and material
life-cycle-mandates for advanced building systems integration.
ARCH 613L Seminar:
Structures Research (4, Sp)
An overview of research
topics in building structures; detailed investigation of selected major
issues. Prerequisite: ARCH 513L.
ARCH 615L Seminar: Environmental Systems Research (4,
Sp)
An introduction to
computer simulations of environmental controls and energy flows in buildings,
including solar, day lighting, HVAC and energy compliance programs.
ARCH 519 Architectural
Sustainability Tools and Methods (4, Fa)
Comparative studies,
lectures and exercises on international architectural sustainability rating,
assessment and certification systems. Prerequisite: Permission of Instructor.
ARCH 619
Sustainability in the Environment: Infrastructures, Urban Landscapes, and
Builidngs (4, Sp)
Methodologies and
Exercises on contextual design and environmentally sound technologies (EST's)
applications for the sustainability of urban infrastructures, operative
landscapes, and building integration in urban system.
ARCH 596 Building Science Thesis Preparation (1, Fa)
Introductions to the
methods of intellectual inquiry involved in the research and production of a
thesis. Exploration of topics leading
to the development of a thesis prospectus. Topics may be in the areas of
building structures, seismic design, environmental control, passive and
active energy, or other relevant topics.
ARCH 407 Advanced Computer
Applications (4, Fa)
Investigation of computer
graphic applications, emphasizing the role of computers in helping designers
create and communicate using color (rendering), form (modeling), and time
(animation) and the implications of future technological advancements.
Prerequisite: ARCH 207a and ARCH 207b, CADD studio or departmental approval.
