Architectural Design

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. Satisfies TMCC Diversity requirement.

This class will include the analysis of assembling and detailing for construction in the field of architecture and understanding of the reading and interpretation of representative construction prints. Techniques for the production of construction details will be discussed, demonstrated, and applied.

This is a survey course of the profession of design. Covered in this course is a discussion of the fields of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Planning. Other design fields may be discussed as they relate to these professions. Topics may include types of firms and their specialties, what it takes to become a licensed practitioner for whom a design professional might work, salaries that might be achieved and the professional associations to which a design professional might belong.

Develop quantitative and qualitative research designs, procedures, instruments, and techniques for architectural research, programming, and design. Philosophy of research in architecture, research design, data gathering and interpretation, and thesis preparation. This body of work will seamlessly transfer into ARCH 485 THESIS (DESIGN) and be an instrumental component of the culmination of the final degree studio project.

This class reviews the fundamentals of urban design theory and invites students to apply these theories to neighborhood design. Additionally, the course surveys major historical and contemporary trends in urban design theory and practice and introduces contemporary theories on the future drivers of change affecting the development and functioning of urban regions.

This class will provide a discussion of the elements, principles, and theories of design. Emphasis is placed upon the integration of design principles into urban landscapes, buildings, interiors, furnishings, and environmental graphic communications.

The student will be introduced to the "All-Inclusive" design theory and strategies for creating buildings and spaces accommodating people of all types. Additionally, the student will design a series of projects and in-class assignments to assist the student in developing integrated design skills. Three-hour studio classes a week and assigned work. Field trips are required at students' expense outside of scheduled hours; some class critique sessions may meet outside of scheduled hours.

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.
