5114, and INARC 5112. All four of these courses were affected by the reorganization of the curriculum
that took place after the 2007 visit for initial candidacy. As a result, certain content or learning out-
comes may have been lost or subsumed by other priorities for each course.
2010 AIADO Response to Criterion A.10, not yet met in 2009 Visiting Team Assessment
This is being taught in ARTHI 5120 Survey of Modern/Postmodern Architecture and Design; ARTHI
5122 Spaces in Architectural History; and ARTHI 6112 Semper and Beyond: Historiography of Archi-
tecture and Technology.
4) Criterion B.2 Accessibility
2009 Visiting Team Assessment: Not yet met.
Although there seems to be a general understanding of some accessibility issues, it is not consistent
across both tracks and does not rise to the level of ability. Some accessibility items are listed on
some projects, but even in those projects the listed items are not necessarily completely executed
within the project. Accessibility issues specific to individual project typologies are also lacking.
2010 AIADO Response to Criterion B.2, not yet met in 2009 Visiting Team Assessment
This is being taught in ARCH 6110 Systems; and INARC 6110 Interactive Spaces, with the goal of con-
tinuing to expand the ability to make accessible designs in all subsequent design studios.
5) Criterion B.4 Site Design
2009 Visiting Team Assessment: Not yet met.
Evidence available to the team indicated some understanding of site considerations, including view,
context and solar exposure. But the level of analysis was not consistent from project to project and
track to track. Topography was not evident on projects reviewed, and additional site considerations
were not addressed. Student achievement does not rise to the level of ability for this criterion.
2010 AIADO Response to Criterion B.4, not yet met in 2009 Visiting Team Assessmet
The landscaping and drainage topics of this criterion are being taught in ARCH 6210 Integrations;
and INARC 6210 Fluid Spaces as well as ARCH 5110 Graduate Architecture Studio I: Sites and INARC
5110 Graduate Interior Architecture Studio I: Emotive Spaces.
6) Criterion B.6 Comprehensive Design
2009 Visiting Team Assessment: Not yet met.
All components of this criterion are not evident in the projects presented for both the architecture and
the interior architecture emphasis. For instance, in ARCH 6210 Graduate Architectural Studio 5: Integra-
tions no single project presents sufficient information that would demonstrate an understanding of all
the components of a building project–site design, structure, environmental systems, sustainability, etc. In
every project presented for review there are aspects of this criterion provided. However, the aspects dif-
fer from project to project, and no project is inclusive of all the items that define comprehensive design.
2010 AIADO Response to Criterion B.6, not yet met in 2009 Visiting Team Assessmet
These topics are being taught in ARCH 6210 Graduate Architectural Studio 5: Integrations and INARC
6210 Graduate Interior Architectural Studio 5: Fluid Spaces, the fifth semester design studio courses.
Assignments for these courses have been modified to include discrete exercises for each topic, with
the student evidence of work on those topics being bound in a project manual that accompanies the
presentation drawings.
