Monday Shadow Visit Experience: 2:00pm - 4:50pm: ARCH 214 - Architectural Design Core Studio IV This studio continues to develop the students’ design process and explores the concepts and strategies that have the capacity to significantly determine building form. Particular emphasis will be placed on the relationship of design to program, structure and materials through the study of dwellings. Special attention will be paid to an understanding of human scale and its impact upon design. Short sequential exercises enable students to develop an understanding of the use of different materials and their structural implications. Bearing wall, columnar (including free-plan) and modular building systems will be studied. These shorter problems will be followed by a longer assignment that uses different urban sites in a variety of locations as the catalyst for an investigation into how the fundamental human need for shelter is affected by regional and cultural precedents and particular climatic conditions. Students are asked to address basic environmental issues by considering passive strategies for heating and cooling. The development of graphic, computer and three-dimensional communication skills development are also continued. Faculty lectures will be integrated into the semester and a digital portfolio will be required. Thursday Shadow Experience: 11:00am - 12:20pm: SUST 101 - Introduction to Sustainability Studies Sustainability Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the interrelated environmental, economic and social problems facing humans at local, regional and global scales. This course provides an introductory survey of the concepts, principles and tools from diverse fields that contribute to understanding and responding to problems such as climate change, environmental degradation, and unequal distribution of limited resources. The course introduces perspectives from the natural and social sciences, arts and humanities, and professional disciplines and explores how valuing their interconnection increases the prospects for achieving a more sustainable future. Specific topics to be explored may include: quantitative systems thinking and analysis, principles of ecology, consumption patterns of energy and natural resources, the role of media in sustainability literacy, cultural sustainability, environmental politics, social justice, sustainable architecture and engineering, and the roles of the arts. | |
