Architectural Design - AAD

Focus on sustainable design strategies to address architectural issues on multiple scales. Moreover, students evaluate their design intent from a regional perspective and urban fabric scale; and advance to a more specific scale with a building detail. Field trips are required at students' expense outside of scheduled hours; some class critique sessions may meet outside of scheduled hours.

This class furthers the development of architectural design processes and projects that cultivate an understanding of structures, properties of materials, and building tectonics. Emphasis is placed upon precedent analysis, basic code and site related issues and creating/storing design solutions on a variety of digital drafting platforms. Field trips required at students expense outside of scheduled hours; some critique sessions may meet outside scheduled hours.

This course introduces students to the understanding and applying of technical, graphical and computational exercises in site design and topographical shaping. Introduction to sustainable site design and best management practices.

This course will review the built form of architecture and urban design from various cultures and civilizations throughout history. Specific periods of study include the Ancient World, the Medieval Period, the Renaissance and Modern Times. Historical events along with developments in architecture of non-western civilizations that have shaped philosophies, cultures and civilizations will also be discussed. Same as course as HUM 201. Satisfies TMCC Diversity requirement.
