Course Description:The course investigates the adaptive reuse of buildings and focuses on projects, involving the redesign and expansion of existing structures. Research, documentation and redesign of an existing structure from concept to design development is the main focus of the course.
Course Context:
- To develop a schematic design to the next level of detail: design development.
- To formulate alternate design solutions for the renovation of existing buildings considering aesthetic and code requirements.
- To develop an architectural program and design solution
- To introduce and investigate how materials can be assembled to create space
- To research new materials, products and furnishings appropriate to their design.
- To survey an existing facility and site to determine the changes required for alteration work and the appropriateness for new work

Attendance Policy: No more than 10% absences are permitted during the semester. For the purposes of record, two lateness are considered as one absence. Exceeding this limit will expose the student to failing at the discretion of the instructor.
Academic Integrity: Students and all others who work with information, ideas, texts, images, music, inventions and other intellectual property owe their audience and sources accuracy and honesty in using, crediting and citation of sources. As a community of intellectual and professional workers, the college recognizes its responsibility for providing instruction in information literacy and academic integrity, offering models of good practice, and responding vigilantly and appropriately to infractions of academic integrity. Accordingly, academic dishonesty is prohibited in The City University of New York and is punishable by penalties, including failing grades, suspension and expulsion.
Course Structure: A series of problems will be assigned to be developed by the student and presented to the class through architectural drawings and/or models. Ongoing critiques and final jury presentations will be an integral part of the course.
Grading: One design project with two phases. One phase will be commercial component and the second phase the residential component
Phase 1 50%
Phase 2 50%
Each Phase will be evaluated based on:
Grading:
45% Research Assignments (Site Analysis, precedent study, program of spaces)/Concept Design
40% Final Design
10% Materials and Furnishings
5% Class Participation
A final grade of C or higher is required in this course to use it as a prerequisite for subsequent courses.

| Upon successful completion of this course the student shall be able to: | To evaluate the students’ achievement of the learning objectives, the professor will do the following: |
| 1. Develop a schematic design to the next level of detail: Design Development. | 1. Review students’ creative process (initial sketches through to the final project) by means of frequent pin-ups. |
| 2. Integrate furniture, lighting, plumbing, interior detailing and finishes into their design. | 2. Review students’ ability to incorporate materials and furnishing into design work. |
| 3. Formulate alternate design solutions for the renovation of interior details of existing buildings taking into account aesthetic and building code requirements. | 3. Review students’ ability to incorporate a concept into their design work.
|
| 4. K.3 Integrate Learning of various components from site, program, code into a design project. | 4. Evaluate final design presentation for key elements integrated successfully into project. |

To evaluate the students’ achievement of the learning objectives, the professor will do the following: |
| 1. (A.2) Design Thinking Skills [measured]ABILITY to raise clear and precise questions, use abstract ideas to interpret information, consider diverse points of view, reach well-reasoned conclusions, and test alternative outcomes against relevant criteria and standards. |
1. Review students process of developing their design ideas through graphic and written assignments
|
| 2. (B.1) Pre-Design [introduced]
ABILITY to prepare a comprehensive program for an architectural project that includes an assessment of client and user needs; an inventory of spaces and their requirements; an analysis of site conditions (including existing buildings); a review of the relevant building codes and standards, including relevant sustainability requirements, and an assessment of their implications for the project; and a definition of site selection and design assessment criteria.
|
2. Evaluate through assignments the ability to logically formulate program from a specific use along with ordering the spaces based on adjacency. |
| 3. (D.1) Stakeholder Roles in Architecture [introduced,]UNDERSTANDING of the relationships among between the client, contractor, architect and other key stakeholders such as user groups and the community, in the design of the built environment. Understanding the responsibilities of the architect to reconcile the needs of those stakeholders. |
3. Demonstrate the needs of the user in the design based on research, programing and site analysis. |
