This advanced design course covers a range of urban and architectural design issues. Students explore both the theoretical and pragmatic aspects of design applied in an urban environment. This course incorporates previous studio and lecture coursework to tie together topics of urban planning, architectural design, environmental sustainability and historic preservation. Using New York City as an urban laboratory, there are three research assignments and two design projects, varying in focus, size and complexity. Students address developing programs, the design of open public space, massing, open private space and the analysis of larger scale projects. Students work in a variety of formats: individually, in pairs, and in groups. Hand drawing, computer drafting and rendering, as well as physical and electronic modeling will be utilized for presentations

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.

This course is an exploration of abstract architectural design theory as an 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.
