This site is the old coordination site for ARCH 1130 Building Technology I.

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.
