ARCH 2111 Arch CultureI:Early Civil&MediARCH 2111 Arch CultureI:Early Civil&Medi3 Credits
The Architecture Culture sequence is designed as an historical survey of Architectural history and theory. Its aim is to develop an understanding of how architecture manifests the socio-cultural conditions of an era. It achieves this aim by first examining the relationship between architecture and other cultural discourses such as philosophy, aesthetics, science, religion, politics and technology; and second, by examining how architecture as a cultural artifact transforms through time as a response to alterations in the surrounding cultural context of the discourses listed above. History is here used as a didactic device to aid the design student in problem solving by presenting him or her with examples of how architects have successfully transformed the intellectual and practical concerns of their day into built form. The first course in the sequence, Architecture Culture I covers Prehistory through Gothic and includes introductions to non-Western architectural traditions. Architecture Culture I introduces the student to the prehistoric origins of architecture and moves through the development of architecture in the Ancient world, introduces Non-Western Architectural traditions and examines the development of Western Architecture from Early Christian through Gothic.

ARCH 3211 Arch Structures II Steel& WoodARCH 3211 Arch Structures II Steel& Wood3 Credits
This course builds on ARCH 2211 with a focus on design and analyses of statically determinate wood and
steel structure systems, mainly frames. Upon completion students would be able to apply design techniques in
defining a frame system and selecting or sizing wood or steel members, particularly beams and columns, trusses,
diaphragms, and connections.
Knowledge and skills are applied in a final team project that highlights a structural form employing wood and steel.

This course explores the innate relationship between the making of architecture and architectural theory as the events of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries unfold. Nineteenth century historicism in Europe and the United States is introduced and followed by an examination of the changing relationship to history that precedes the turn of the twentieth century. This course then begins an investigation of the diverse regional and conceptual approaches to modernity, covered up to the International Style Exhibition.

Milestones: All courses indicated as a Milestone with this icon ( ) should be completed in the term suggested to prevent delays in program completion.
Disclaimer: An academic map is a suggested four-year schedule of courses based on degree requirements in the KSU undergraduate catalog. This sample schedule serves as a general guideline to help build a full schedule each term. Some departments allow students to use the three credit first-year seminar course as a free elective for a degree program, which may impact the program's total credit hours. Milestones, courses, and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major are designated to keep you on track to graduate in four years. Missing milestones could delay your program. Enrolled Students should reference DegreeWorks and not this plan.
This map is not a substitute for academic advisement—contact your advisor if you have any questions about scheduling or about your degree requirements. Also
see the current undergraduate catalog (catalog.kennesaw.edu) for a complete list of requirements and electives. Note: Requirements are continually under revision, and
there is no guarantee they will not be changed or revoked; contact the department and/or program area for current information.
You may choose to attend a summer term to reduce your load during fall or spring terms but still stay on track to graduate in four years.
