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 course presents an introduction to basic materials of construction and the fundamental principles of architectural hand drafting and system analysis. The coursework includes weekly lectures, readings, and quizzes focusing on the study of material properties and applications with an emphasis on wood and masonry and shallow foundation systems. In addition, there is a series of architectural drawing assignments that includes surveying existing conditions, development of plans, elevations, sections, and basic details from foundation to roof of a case study structure.

This course is an exploration of abstract architectural design theory in the expression of three-dimensional space. The creation of comprehensive architectural design projects are developed following a building program and incorporating elements of site, enclosure, structure, material and technology. Design concepts and vocabulary are introduced and strengthened through design projects. A juried presentation will take place at the completion of each project.
