ARCH 1231 is an in­tro­duc­tion to basic ma­te­ri­als of con­struc­tion and the fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­pals of or­tho­graphic pro­jec­tion and ar­chi­tec­tural draft­ing. The course­work in­cludes doc­u­ment­ing ex­ist­ing con­di­tions, de­vel­op­ment of a plan, el­e­va­tion, sec­tion and as­sem­bly de­tails sup­ported by text-based study of ma­te­r­ial prop­er­ties and ap­pli­ca­tions.

ARCH 1231 is an introduction to basic materials of construction and the fundamental principals of orthographic projection and architectural drafting. The coursework includes documenting existing conditions, development of a plan, elevation, section and assembly details supported by text-based study of material properties and applications.

An in­tro­duc­tion to basic ma­te­ri­als of con­struc­tion and the fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­pals of hand draft­ing and sys­tem analy­sis. The course­work in­cludes sur­vey­ing ex­ist­ing con­di­tions, de­vel­op­ment of plans, el­e­va­tions, and sec­tions, and basic de­tails as well as the study of ma­te­r­ial prop­er­ties and ap­pli­ca­tions.

This spe­cial top­ics course of­fers an in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary ap­proach to in­ves­ti­gat­ing our built en­vi­ron­ment using a case study fo­cused on a spe­cific place each se­mes­ter. This course com­bines phys­i­cal ex­am­i­na­tion with in­for­ma­tion re­search and data col­lec­tion using method­olo­gies de­vel­oped in mul­ti­ple dis­ci­plines. Stu­dents from a va­ri­ety of de­part­ments en­gage in on-site ex­plo­ration and in-depth re­search of a lo­ca­tion in New York City. Fac­ulty from the Li­brary and Ar­chi­tec­tural Tech­nol­ogy De­part­ments are teach­ing the course this se­mes­ter, and will thus focus course ma­te­r­ial through a lens of ar­chi­tec­ture, urban stud­ies, and in­for­ma­tion stud­ies.

This special topics course offers an interdisciplinary approach to investigating our built environment using a case study focused on a specific place each semester. This course combines physical examination with information research and data collection using methodologies developed in multiple disciplines. Students from a variety of departments engage in on-site exploration and in-depth research of a location in New York City. Faculty from the Library and Architectural Technology Departments are teaching the course this semester, and will thus focus course material through a lens of architecture, urban studies, and information studies.

A his­tor­i­cal analy­sis of the city’s in­fra­struc­ture, real es­tate de­vel­op­ment, mu­nic­i­pal plan­ning, or­di­nances and key build­ings using the com­par­a­tive method. The class will trace 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, ordinances and key buildings using the comparative method. The class will trace 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.
