Catalog Course Description
Basic design exercises focus on buildings and their relationship to site and design process using simple programs, the influence of context, introducing sustainability and environmental constraints. Students analyze and incorporate environmental site factors, simple program requirements and basic knowledge of building materials. The design process of sustainability, climate and lighting issues are incorporated as integral components of an architectural design solution. A portfolio of the assigned design exercises completes the course requirements. 36 lecture hours, 72 lab hours.
Course Objectives
- Develop architectural principles and processes through complex architectural design projects. Effectively use research on architectural design projects.
- Solve programmatic issues through relationship analysis diagramming. Assess how environmental factors are integral components of architectural design projects.
Major Course Content
- Advanced study and investigation of the relationships between site, circulation, program, structure and enclosure in complex architectural design projects.
- Advanced programmatic problem solving skills at the research and analysis stage of the design process through diagramming and comparative methods of existing building prototypes.
- Refine, develop and apply design process incorporating sustainability and complex programmatic, environmental and technical issues resulting in a comprehensive architectural solution.
- Integrate sustainable and passive environmental climate control systems into architectural design concepts and solutions.
- Develop advanced visual/digital media techniques used in design and presentation for:
- Commercial buildings and industrial buildings
- Environment management and ecology regulations
- Safety, health, ADA requirements
