An introductory course implementing traditional methods of representation. This course focuses on developing techniques required to understand, interpret, represent, and analyze space and material. Course Outcomes
Introduces how physical, historical, social, cultural, political, environmental, economic, and design forces interact to shape and reshape our urban environments. Develops awareness of urban design and regional development. Considers how urban planning and development impacts urbanization, growth management, environmental issues, and urban sprawl in metropolitan areas. From multidisciplinary perspectives, studies images of cities and suburbs, patterns and trends in urban landscapes over time and place, urban observation, environmental changes, population shifts, and urban design on society and culture. Examines the influence of urban planning and design practices for inclusive, equitable neighborhoods. Evaluate contemporary urban issues, including housing, race, class, gender, socioeconomics, environmental justice, population changes, inclusive design, and equitable development. Recognize the physical, historical, social, cultural, political, environmental, and economic forces that shape urban environments through planning, design, and development. Involves reading, multimedia, discussions, and fieldwork. Course Outcomes
An introductory course in Building Codes and Standards. With an emphasis on how codes influence construction and design through: analysis and interpretation of the code specific parameters of health, safety and welfare. Course Outcomes
An introductory course dealing with natural and man-made materials employed on construction projects of all types. Products and systems are covered as influencing factors in the design, environmental sustainability, cost, and erection of structures. Course Outcomes
History of Architecture utilizes the lens of history to study how social, economic, political, religious, and technological developments of a time period influence the creative process of the architect. Observing the city and its buildings, the canvas of the architect, students will study major architectural movements throughout the course of the semester. Students will exhibit an understanding of the creative process utilized and catalog their encounters by keeping a sketchbook where they will diagram and sketch the defining components of each movement. Course Outcomes
This course deals with emerging software and hardware technologies in architectural or design/build industries. The process of construction and the resulting assemblies will be graphically explored using a variety of software packages. Research and fabrication are an essential part of this course and are used to stimulate students’ curiosity about architecture and the larger world and introduce them to key issues of architecture regarding space, form, critique, technology, aesthetics, societal, and cultural contexts, etc. Course Outcomes
A lecture/lab class continuing the production of working drawings for complex domestic structures. Programming, design, detailing and mechanics are introduced with the whole project reflecting code application and compliance along with some basic principles of cost estimating for residential construction. The lab is for instruction and production of working drawings for complex domestic structures. Course Outcomes
A lecture/laboratory class introducing the management and techniques used by various firms in the design and production of construction documents for commercial structures. Some basic principles of cost estimating for commercial construction will be discussed and techniques introduced. Course Outcomes
Through the study of Statics and Strength of Materials, this course provides a theoretical and scientific basis for the understanding of how various structural systems and structural materials work to withstand loads. The concepts introduced during this course will be studied using qualitative as well as quantitative methods of analysis. The scope of this course will be limited to the examination of simple structural elements as trusses, beams, and columns. Course Outcomes
This course explores the development of architectural process from project inception to its realization. Topics include office organization, contractor and owner management of projects, construction-cost analysis, organization and preparation of construction documents, review of related legal papers and standardized forms, alternative patterns of construction management relations. Emerging patterns of architectural practice will be identified. Course Outcomes
The planning, selection, and the correlating of specific products and systems into solving details for architectural working drawings. Course Outcomes
The inclusion of heating, air-conditioning, electrical, plumbing and sanitary systems into structures plus their influence on and correlation with structural and architectural requirements. Course Outcomes
This course introduces two-dimensional and three-dimensional representation techniques for developing and presenting design concepts. Visual communication skills and critical thinking processes will be developed through the exploration of spatial relationships and the introduction of architectural elements, systems and orders. Course Outcomes
This course further examines two-dimensional and three-dimensional representation techniques for developing and presenting design concepts. Advancement of visual communication skills and critical thinking processes will enable investigation of the complexities of architectural spaces. Focus will be given to the generative potential of design techniques as catalysts to the development of spatial relationships. Course Outcomes
