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.

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 in-depth study and sur­vey of some the var­i­ous con­struc­tion as­sem­blies em­ployed in the con­struc­tion in­dus­try. The course fo­cuses on ar­chi­tec­tural de­tail­ing as it ap­plies to the use of ma­te­ri­als, ma­te­r­ial as­sem­blies and their com­po­nents in the con­struc­tion of build­ings. De­tails of floor, in­te­rior and ex­te­rior walls, roof and foun­da­tion as­sem­blies in­clud­ing ma­te­ri­als and their re­sponses to the el­e­ments and build­ing loads are ex­plored.

An in-depth study and survey of some the various construction assemblies employed in the construction industry. The course focuses on architectural detailing as it applies to the use of materials, material assemblies and their components in the construction of buildings. Details of floor, interior and exterior walls, roof and foundation assemblies including materials and their responses to the elements and building loads are explored.
