Students study global architecture from prehistory to the 10th century, including form, technology, urban context, and how architecture reflects social, cultural, and political concerns.

Students study global architecture from the 11th century to Globalization, including form, technology, urban context, and how architecture reflects social, cultural, and political concerns.

This course will be cross-listed and delivered concurrently with ARCH-632 Architectural Design II and will utilize the same instructor, studio space, and resources. This course will require the use of an integrated manual drawing studio and a computer lab.

Students study global architecture from pre-history to the 10th century, including form, technology, urban context, and how architecture reflects social, cultural, and political concerns.

Students will analyze and solve building based architectural design problems with a focus on residential design and other wood based structures. (Pre-requisite, ARCH-631 Architectural Design I, Corequisite, ARCH-621 Architectural Representation II). Classroom 3, Studio 9, Credit 6 (S) ARCH-

An architectural design studio focused on adaptive reuse and historic preservation. Projects deal with the issues found in working with existing conditions including buildings and other man-made artifacts.

Masters-level scholarship by the candidate under the direction of the instructor. The topic will be as mutually agreed upon by the student and faculty. Examples include acting as a research assistant for a faculty member’s scholarship, working in a research center, researching for an A/E firm, etc.

Students continue work on the thesis begun previously. They execute a methods and procedures plan, analyze the data, arrive at a conclusion and successfully defend it.

This course is for Master of Architecture students who require additional time to complete their thesis. Students should enroll for one credit unless otherwise instructed.

The Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) engage undergraduate students in long-term, large-scale, multidisciplinary project teams that are led by faculty. VIP courses are project-based, team-based courses directly supporting faculty research and scholarship with a particular focus on technology, art, and design. The VIP teams are a mix of undergraduate and graduate students each semester. Undergraduates can participate in a project for up to three years. Students will have foundations within their discipline, pursue needed knowledge/skills, make meaningful contributions, assume technical/leadership responsibilities, and serve as mentors for junior members. Students will be required to make contributions to the project, maintain detailed notebooks describing their contribution to the project, attend and participate in team meetings, and explore topics specific to each VIP via tutorials and readings from appropriate literature. Presentations and reports on work created will also be required.
