Urban Design Theory

What we commonly call “the city” is a condition of diverse networks. Explore these rapidly evolving urban fields and apply theoretical frameworks to engender new design possibilities.

Programming and Culture

Explore design through humanistic and sociological lens. You will learn to observe, gather, and interpret cultural information into ideas that can shape the organization, form, and intentions of architecture and urban space. (This course is cross-listed with LA 292.)

Spatial Composition

Study organizational principles in the patterns and structure of architectural spaces. You will gain an understanding of the relationship of organizational, structural, and spatial systems in architecture through a series of focused projects.

Architecture in Action

Architecture is designing experiences for people using form, light, textures, and proportions that reference the human scale. Develop your design intent using scaled representations of spaces. Then fabricate full-scale creations working collaboratively. Through field trips, experience San Francisco through the eyes of an architect and discover how architectural spaces shape… Read More

Architecture Maker Lab

Architects develop ideas by making. “What if?” questions are tested and refined in drawings and models in an iterative design process. Gain hands-on experience of this foundational design skill in our Maker Lab using woodworking and digital fabrication tools. This course will offer onsite students the opportunity to incorporate Brannan… Read More

Environmental Control Systems

Learn the fundamental concepts of heating, cooling, plumbing, and ventilation in buildings to conserve our valuable natural resources. You’ll integrate environmental control systems with architectural design to increase human comfort and make evidence-based decisions using building performance simulation tools. (This course is cross-listed with ARH 605.)
