A survey of the development of architectural and scenic styles in the physical structure of theatre from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its most current forms. Emphasis placed on the stylistic influences of theoreticians and artistic movements. Interdisciplinary Option: This course is a conversation between theater history and architecture. As such, the work in class focuses on purpose-built and adapted spaces for live performance. Each week we will examine historical theatre spaces and technologies in the context of prevailing cultural and social forces in order to better understand audience/stage relationships. To fulfill the interdisciplinary requirements for this course, specialists from architecture, art history, and performance technology will guest lecture six times over the course of the semester.Students will learn skill-sets from architecture technology: GIS mapping and hand sketching.

This course handles the basic concepts of thermal energy conversion and transfer. Dual use of S.I. and English engineering units are employed in order to understand gas laws, fluid processes, first and second laws of thermodynamics, theoretical cycles, internal combustion engines, gas turbines and jet engines, refrigeration cycles and the heat pump. The course covers practical aspects of Heat transfer through radiation, conduction and convection.
