Architecture
ARC 31A/B Studio III-A/B
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).
Lab: 6 hrs.
Prerequisites: (ASF 32A/B or ASF 2), (ASF 20A/B or ASF 20), and (ASF 26A/B or ASF 26)

ARC 612 Theory IV
This course is designed to develop an appreciation of the city as the principal context in which architecture is theorized and made. Focusing on cities in Western Europe and North America during the Twentieth Century, the course explores interrelations between urban culture, space, planning, theory, design, and the production of architecture. The goal is to understand how a critical awareness of the city can provide a basis for appropriate architectural interventions.
