Architecture


ARC 31A/BARC 41A/BARC 512ARC 612  

ARC 31A/B Studio III
This course is the initial level of advanced studies in architectural design. Projects are of a relatively complex nature, requiring use of experience gained in foundation level workshops applied in a more effective and efficient manner. The projects reflect the content of the concurrent curriculum in 3rd year as well as professional practice and issues outside the school. Individual work and team efforts in this workshop may include projects involving actual clients and “real” (i.e. non-academic) conditions. There are usually 3-6 projects in an academic year. (formerly ARC 501/601).
Prerequisites: ASF 32A/B or ASF 002, ASF 20A/B or ASF 20, and ASF 26A/B or ASF 26.
Lab: 6 hrs.

ARC 41A/B Thesis
Each student selects a topic of an appropriate type, scale and complexity in consultation with the faculty, for approval by the Department; completes a design proposal, technical and research documentation which demonstrate proficiency in Architecture. The major project is supplemented by a number of short analytical problems. (formerly ARC 701/801).
Prerequisite: ARC 31A/B or ARC 31.
Lab: 8 hrs.

ARC 512 Theory III
A study of the use of architectural/building materials (media) as means of expression. The course reviews the impact of materials and technology through history, as a source of the unity of structure, material, form, function and management in architectural design.
Prerequisite: ASF 25A/B or ASF 25.
Lect: 1 hr./Lab: 2 hrs.

ARC 612 Theory IV
A survey of four models of “unity” of form/function/media as a foundation for architectural design. Nature, non-architectural artifacts, non-architects architecture and the work of architectural masters are studied as sources of principles of design.
Prerequisite: ARC 512.
