ARCH-763 Technology 3: Integrated Building System Systems

3 Credits

This is an applied science course in which advanced applications of scientific technology in structures, materials, and energy are developed through the context of architectural design. The course is taught in two formats: lectures and design-based critiques. A series of case studies and exercises are coordinated in parallel with group-based projects in Design Studio IV. Topics include energy modeling, construction communication, building component fabrication and designing advanced structural/material assemblies.
