DESIGNING SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTS A46 336B ARCH The seminar will introduce fundamental concepts of sustainability and sustainable development. Emphasis will be placed on understanding natural systems, the development of the built environment within natural systems, and the economic, social, ecological, ethical, philosophical, political, psychological, aesthetic, and cultural issues that help shape design decisions. Students will evaluate a range of methods that may be used to identify and select sustainable solutions to design problems, improve existing solutions, and develop critical thinking. The LEED Rating system will be presented within the context of its role in professional practice and larger issues of human and environmental health, including how LEED fits into the realm of high performance design and the effective use of the LEED Rating System and principles of sustainability. The course will be divided into three phases: 1) research current interpretations of sustainability in architecture, examining theories and practices that encourage the development of ecological consciousness as the context of Sustainable Design; 2) critical comparison of the underlying principles of sustainability and design proposed by the different rating systems available today and evaluation of the ways of assessing the sustainability of the built environment currently in use, including the LEEDTM rating system; and 3) the development of a project design in studio that will follow the LEED-NC Version 2.2 Manual as the organizing structure. In this final project, students will be required to obtain a minimum of 26 points on the LEED-NC rating system in order to have their project certified. Students will produce the necessary documentation required for LEED-NC certification and make an oral presentation to a panel of guest critics. 3 units 01 TuTh 1:00p-2:30p Freixas CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ARCHITECTURE I A46 339 ARCH This weekly seminar course will address issues of western architectural thought through a focused series of readings and discussions. The necessity and role of architectural theory in general will be examined. Issues of tectonics, historicism, typology, regionalism, modernism, post-modernism, and other critical frameworks for the consideration of architecture will be thematic subjects of discussion. Selected readings include Vitruvius, Alberti, Laugier, Semper, Ruskin, Le Corbusier, Gropius, Kahn, Rossi, Venturi, Eisenman, Libeskind, and Koolhaas. Weekly reading assignments, attendance, participation, one summary and discussion introduction based on a reading topic, final paper. Required for firstsemester M.Arch. 3 students. Fulfills History/Theory elective for M.Arch.2 students. 3 units 01 Tu 2:00p-5:00p MacKeith Th 3:00p-4:00p Mumford Newman INDEPENDENT STUDY A46 381 ARCH Prereq: Sponsorship by an instructor and permission of the Dean of the School of Architecture. Register for the section number that corresponds to the faculty member sponsoring the independent study. Credit variable, max 5 units. ** See start of this departmental entry or contact department directly for details on faculty/sections and enrollment. 01-22 XXX TBA FURNITURE DESIGN A46 405D ARCH The course will focus on the design of tables using wood as the primary material in response to “rational and irrational strategies” (systematic and emotional). Each student will design, develop and build prototypes of two tables suing the same material. One table will be the product of a systematic analysis of material qualities, production procedures and other constructivist principles. One table will be the product of more explicitly intuitive, emotional and interpretive responses to the nature of the material and its production. Course limited to 10 students 3 units 01 Tu 1:00p-4:00p Safe 68
DIGITAL VISUALIZATION WORKSHOP: ADVANCED RENDERING A46 408C ARCH his workshop is an introduction to complex digital rendering in RHINO 4.0 with Plug-ins flamingo, VRay, Maxwell, and Fry Rendering Engines. These skills are needed for sophisticated rendering outputs for more hyper-real visualization. The workshop will introdue students to material, lighting, camera, and global illumination processes. This workshop is required for all M.Arch students at the 419-level, who will be given priority for registration in this course. Open to other upper-level undergraduate and graduate architecture students as available space allows. 1 unit 01 Sa 9:00a-1:00p 8/31/10 - 12/22/10 Faculty 02 Su 9:00a-1:00p 8/31/10 - 12/22/10 Faculty BIM 101 WORKSHOP A46 408D ARCH The future of the design and construction industry is going to be driven by the use of technology. The best example emerging today is the use of three-dimensional, intelligent design information, commonly referred to as Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM is expected to drive the AEC industry towards a “Model-Based” process and gradually move the industry away from a “2D-Based” process. The BIM 101 workshop is for designers who recognize that this future is coming and who are looking for a way to begin preparing themselves in order to be ready when it arrives. We will explore how BIM is being used today and learn the basics of one of the leading BIM tools, Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010. This is not a software instruction course. A working knowledge ofRevit is encouraged, but not necessary. 1 unit SECT 01: This workshop will meet on Tuesdays: September 7, 14, 21, 28 and October 5. 01 Tu 5:00p-8:00p 8/31/10 - 12/22/10 Howard SECT 02: This workshop will meet on Thursdays September 9, 16, 23, 30 and Oct. 7. 02 Th 5:00p-8:00p Howard ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN III A46 411 ARCH Prereq: Arch 312. 6 units 01 MWF 1:30p-5:30p Faculty ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN III (M.ARCH. 3) A46 419 ARCH The third of a three-semester sequence of core design studios in the M.Arch 3 program.
