This course studies the development of building systems as they occur during the design development phase of architecture. 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. The student creates a series of reports and a set of construction drawings using both analog methods (hand sketching and drawing) and digital tools including CAD software and BIM (Building Information Modeling) techniques.

An exploration of architecture from prehistory to 1900. This semester we also focus on the origins and growth of cities. For our final project we will use the archives of the Brooklyn Historical Society to study downtown Brooklyn, an example of modern city development.
