Studio 5: Advocacy in Design

Take a stance on the role of architecture in our urban environments. Through the design of a public building, you’ll advocate for and engage with under-served communities. Your honest inquiry of the urban fabric and the diversity of its inhabitants will create a responsive, empathetic program and a building proposal. Read More

Architectural History – Introduction

Gain a broad overview of Western and non-Western architectural development from early to pre-modern periods—approximately 3000 B.C. to 1890 A.D. You will attain an essential frame of reference for the understanding of the cultural evolution of architecture.

Thesis Preparation and Development

Prepare for the final Master of Architecture Thesis course. You’ll begin by critically thinking through an architectural problem and researching related topics to your proposal: social equity concerns, environmental considerations, program development, and typology studies, among others.

Design Communication 2

Learn to make digital images and architectural drawings. Using industry software, lecture information, case studies, and tutorials, you will create digital collages, diagrams, and drawings to represent an idea.

Studio 10: Final Thesis Project

Architects can be agents of change. With the guidance of faculty, you will select a unique site and program to test your thesis and address topics that matter to you. Through your architectural response, you’ll challenge the status quo and envision new opportunities for architecture to solve problems.

Storytelling in 3D

What if you could develop and represent your architectural idea at the same time? In this class, you will learn how to digitally model spaces—real and imagined,—represent them as compelling architectural drawings, and evoke emotional responses in your audience through the use of real-time rendering software. Along the way, we… Read More

History of the Built Environment 3: 1900 to Present

Explore the evolutions of art, architecture, and urban and landscape design conditioned by the Industrial Revolution and two World Wars, focusing on a comparative and contextualized analysis of the most relevant spaces of the 1900s.

Advanced Design Studio III – Integrated Design Concepts

Engage in integrated building design from early concept to final detail. You’ll participate in an investigative and analytical process that employs multiple building systems, assemblies, services, variables, and performance factors to explore ways where design and construction are interconnected to successfully complete a sophisticated integrated architectural design project.

Sustainable Design

Learn passive and innovative strategies to minimize a building’s aggressive energy and resource consumption. You’ll examine the benefits of renewable resources and well-building design, focusing on best practices revealed both in vernacular architecture and forward-thinking contemporary design case studies. (This course is cross-listed with ARH 430.)

Advanced Design Studio II – Concept, Context, and Typology

Engage in an intensive and stimulating process through which you will address architecture on an abstract conceptual level while questioning and considering broader implications at the finer scale of architectural idea, tectonics, space, and detail.
