ARCH 111Architectural Design I3
2 class hours 3 laboratory hours 3 credits An introduction to the fundamentals of architectural design. Students will develop the ability to perceive visual cues, create visual design, formulate concepts, and render ideas in two and three dimensions. Using a combination of manual and digital skills, students will create and interpret three dimensional objects and spaces and develop drawings and renderings using standard projection systems.
2 class hours 2 laboratory hours 3 credits Prerequisite and/or corequisite: None An introduction to the basic materials and elements of construction. System analysis, including the study of materials properties and their proper selection. Fundamental principles of architectural drafting. Surveying existing conditions, development of drawings of plans, elevations, sections, and basic details from foundation to roof. An emphasis is on wood and masonry and shallow foundation systems.
1 class hour 3 laboratory hours 2 credits An introduction to the language of architectural representation and visualization. Students will develop the techniques and skills to perceive visual cues, make aesthetic valuations, translate information into graphic representation, create visual design, and formulate and render concepts in two or three dimensions. This course introduces basic skills for the manipulation and generation of both free hand and digital images. Model making, scanning and image editing concepts are introduced. Associated topics in computer systems, file management, word processing and spreadsheets are covered.
3 class hours 2 laboratory hours 4 credits A continuation of the concepts begun in ARCH-119. Students will increase their knowledge of architectural design. A more in-depth study of in the perception of visual cues, the creation of visual designs, the formulation of concepts, and the rendering of ideas in two and three dimensions. Using a combination of manual and digital skills, students will create and interpret three dimensional objects and spaces and develop drawings and renderings using standard projection systems.
2 lecture hours 3 laboratory hours 3 credits Generally offered in Spring only A study of the basic materials of construction and the theory and practice of building technology. The course will include investigation of the assembly of building components and methods of construction and framing. Students will develop proficiency in both analog and digital drawing building information modeling (BIM) techniques, and professionally presented construction drawings.
1 class hour 3 laboratory hours 2 credits A continuation of the concepts of architectural representation and visualization begun in ARCH-119. The focus is on precise crafting of physical and analogue models and architectural presentations, analogue and digital rendering techniques ,and representation of geospatial information. Students hone their skills using manual and digital tools and enhance their design work by strengthening visual, verbal, and graphical skills. Students will demonstrate fluency in and understanding of key design vocabulary, concepts, and visual techniques. 164
3 class hours 2 laboratory hours 4 credits Generally offered in Fall only An exploration of abstract architectural design theory in the expression of three-dimensional space. The creation of comprehensive architectural design projects are developed following a building program and incorporating element of site, enclosure, structure, material and technology. Design concepts and vocabulary are introduced and strengthened through design projects. A juried presentation will take place at the completion of each project.
3 class hours 3 credits Corequisite: ARCH-123 Generally offered in Spring only A survey of systems employed in buildings including plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and fire alarm and suppression. System components, design, application, equipment locations and distribution will be examined. Sustainability and energy efficiency applications will be addressed and software used for data analysis. National codes are introduced.
2 class hours 2 laboratory hours 3 credits Design and analysis of steel, reinforced concrete, and timber structures. The behavior of architectural materials in stress and intuitive reasoning related to the mathematical treatment of equilibrium in static structures. Practice in the preparation of structural drawings. Use of structural design codes and specifications.
