Build­ing Tech­nol­ogy III

Building Technology III

A sur­vey of key el­e­ments of phys­i­cal ge­og­ra­phy pre­sented in the con­text of human ac­tiv­ity and its re­la­tion to the phys­i­cal world. Top­ics in­clude world sur­face fea­tures, cli­mate and weather, the seas, and nat­ural re­sources.

A survey of key elements of physical geography presented in the context of human activity and its relation to the physical world. Topics include world surface features, climate and weather, the seas, and natural resources.

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 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.

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.
