ARCH 2111  Arch CultureI:Early Civil&Medi

3 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.

The majority of the semester focuses on a medium sized, mixed-use project located on a suburban/exurban site.

ARCH 3112  ArchCultureIIRenaissance-1850

3 Credits

This course examines the rise of renaissance architecture and architectural theory and traces the spread of their influence across Europe into the enlightenment. The architectural impact of colonial expansion is studied as European architecture interacts with or displaces the local traditions of colonized areas in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

ARCH 3313  EnvTechII:HumanCom&Bldg Syst

3 Credits

This course offers lecture instruction that is focused on the fundamental connection between human comfort and active / passive design mechanisms. Topics include building context / orientation and form, envelope characteristics and materials, and human comfort within interior environments. Additionally, energy conservation and major mechanical systems are examined in relation to building typology and sustainability.??

ARCH 3211  Arch Structures II Steel& Wood

3 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.

ARCH 3113  ArchCultureIII:HistEmergNwTrad

3 Credits

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.

ARCH 3314  EnvTech III:Lght,Elec&Acoustic

3 Credits

This course is the culmination of the environmental technology sequence. Lectures elaborate upon prior coursework and place focus upon natural and artificial lighting, electrical systems, and building acoustical design.

The course is the first part of a year-long undergraduate thesis. Its primary goal is to help students develop a personal and intellectual stance on contemporary architectural discourses and then translate this understanding into architectural design solutions. The course provides students with essential research methods specific to architecture. Using these methods, students conduct independent research under the guidance of thesis faculty, leading to the formulation of well-crafted research questions and a thesis proposal, which will be explored further in the Thesis Design Studio.
