History of the Built Environment 1: Ancient to Gothic

Learn the stories of human cultures through the environments they built. Compare buildings and landscapes across the globe from prehistory to the 14th-century and discover how we lived shaped the spaces we built.

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 440.)

Studio 7: Tectonics and Structure

Architecture is a reflection of contemporary culture and conflict invites innovation. You will question preconceptions to find outdated modes of inhabiting space and discover new program relationships, spatial conditions, and rich tectonic expressions. You must take this course concurrently with ARH 420.

Architectural History: Modernism and its Global Impact

Learn about the development of architecture and urbanism since the Industrial Revolution. You will examine cultural and technological implications on contemporary design and trace the global impact of the modern movement.

Site Design and Mapping

Experience the dynamic interdisciplinary nature of site design. Taking physical characteristics, regulatory parameters, accessibility, and sustainable design principles into consideration, you’ll develop a site design that combines your skills and understanding of topography, landscape, and urban design.

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.

Professional Practices for Architects

Gain the legal and business knowledge to successfully transition into the architecture profession. You will examine contractual relationships among stakeholders, licensure process, organizational structures, ethics, business development, compensation, insurance, and the importance of mentorship.

Code Analysis and Construction Documents

Buildings must be designed to keep people safe. You will develop building floor plans that comply with planning and building codes with an emphasis on egress and accessibility and evaluate a building envelope design proposal on costs, material choices, and construction assembly.
