PHENOMENA
SECTION DESCRIPTION
As artists and designers our understanding of the physical universe can be a fundamental part of our engagement with our context and in production of our creative work. This course includes an introduction to selected fundamentals of physics: momentum, thermodynamics, and waves and optics - all part of the basis for Architectural Technology. These fundamental phenomena are to be considered both through their mathematical application and expression as concepts in contemporary art. Content to be examined through mathematical problem solving, critical reading, and lab sessions using both physical measurement and digital simulation in Python programming language.
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Preference is given to Sophomore Architecture Students.
Major Requirement | BArch: Architecture
ARCH 2253-01
ARCHITECTURAL ANATOMY
SECTION DESCRIPTION
Introduction to technical building systems - Structure, Environmental and Enclosure - and their integration with an emphasis on quantifying performance and increasing sustainability. Content includes survey of these three system types - typical components, basis of performance, and analysis of performance - and introduction to related conventions of construction and architectural detailing to realize them.
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Preference is given to Sophomore Architecture Students.
Major Requirement | BArch: Architecture
ARCH 2254-01
STRUCTURAL DESIGN
SECTION DESCRIPTION
Structural Design with timber, steel and concrete (allowable stress, plastic, and composite design respectively). Students will develop understanding and application of quantitative methods of structural design for conventional structural components and systems - beams, columns, trusses, frames, walls, etc. in multiple materials. Introduces the conventions of detailing structural systems in these materials. Introduces systems and requirements for building foundation, gravity superstructure, and lateral superstructure.
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Preference is given to Junior Architecture Students.
Major Requirement | BArch: Architecture
ARCH 2255-01
ENCLOSURE DESIGN
SECTION DESCRIPTION
Comprehensive design of building enclosures - integrated consideration of structural design, tolerance, detailing, thermal transmission, air transmission, and moisture transmission. Introduce typical and atypical systems of enclosure with emphasis on relative advantages of different systems depending on location, intended performance, and design intent.
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Preference is given to Junior Architecture Students.
Major Requirement | BArch: Architecture
ARCH 2256-01
ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
SECTION DESCRIPTION
This course reinforces the fundamentals of environmental systems- thermal, light, ventilation, acoustics-and teaches design strategies to evaluate and optimize building concepts based on these systems. The lab component will include hands-on testing (e.g. data-loggers for thermal and HDR imaging for daylighting) and an emphasis on digital simulations (e.g. Rhino plug-ins for thermal and lighting analysis). The Simulation Game is an in-class activity where students compete to make the most energy-efficient conceptual building massing using an energy modeling program in Rhino/Grasshopper. The course will culminate in a case study project in which students apply design strategies to a specific building design problem.
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Preference is given to Junior Architecture Students.
