Build­ing tech­nol­ogy II is the sec­ond se­mes­ter in the BT cur­ricu­lum. We will be ex­am­in­ing struc­tural ideas through site vis­its through­out NYC and through ar­chi­tec­tural draw­ing, fo­cus­ing on con­crete and steel.

Building technology II is the second semester in the BT curriculum. We will be examining structural ideas through site visits throughout NYC and through architectural drawing, focusing on concrete and steel.

Course focus is on steel con­struc­tion. This course stud­ies the de­vel­op­ment of build­ing sys­tems as they occur dur­ing the de­sign de­vel­op­ment phase of ar­chi­tec­ture. The focus will be on steel con­struc­tion. Using case study re­search meth­ods, stu­dents an­a­lyze fac­tors, such as build­ing as­sem­blies and sys­tems, codes and gov­ern­ment reg­u­la­tions, human er­gonom­ics, and sus­tain­abil­ity, which af­fect build­ing con­struc­tion and use. Their so­lu­tions to these is­sues are in­te­grated into their final build­ing de­sign so­lu­tions. Stu­dents cre­ate a se­ries of re­ports and a set of con­struc­tion draw­ings using both ana­log meth­ods (hand sketch­ing and draw­ing) and dig­i­tal tools in­clud­ing tra­di­tional CAD soft­ware and Build­ing In­for­ma­tion Mod­el­ing tech­niques.

Course focus is on steel construction. This course studies the development of building systems as they occur during the design development phase of architecture. The focus will be on steel construction. Using case study research methods, students analyze factors, such as building assemblies and systems, codes and government regulations, human ergonomics, and sustainability, which affect building construction and use. Their solutions to these issues are integrated into their final building design solutions. Students create a series of reports and a set of construction drawings using both analog methods (hand sketching and drawing) and digital tools including traditional CAD software and Building Information Modeling techniques.

A his­tor­i­cal analy­sis of the city’s in­fra­struc­ture, real es­tate de­vel­op­ment, mu­nic­i­pal plan­ning and or­di­nances and key build­ing using the com­par­a­tive method. The de­vel­op­ment of a mega­lopo­lis. Trac­ing the course of Ar­chi­tec­tural His­tory from the vil­lage to the pre­sent role of the city as the com­mer­cial and cul­tural hub of the na­tion. This course will stress the dy­namic so­cio-eco­nomic de­ter­mi­nants emerg­ing as a re­sult of im­prove­ments and growth in tech­nol­ogy, trans­porta­tion, in­fra­struc­ture, real es­tate, com­merce, hous­ing and recre­ation.

A historical analysis of the city’s infrastructure, real estate development, municipal planning and ordinances and key building using the comparative method. The development of a megalopolis. Tracing the course of Architectural History from the village to the present role of the city as the commercial and cultural hub of the nation. This course will stress the dynamic socio-economic determinants emerging as a result of improvements and growth in technology, transportation, infrastructure, real estate, commerce, housing and recreation.
