ARCH 2340 - Building Technology IV

2014-Present
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.

IDD-2212-A - Revit/BIM Intro

2013-Present
This course is an introduction to Revit and associated terminology. It is tailored towards learning specific modeling techniques in order to accomplish a reasonably comprehensive architectural set of documents, (where documentation is not necessarily construction drawings). It focuses on learning specific requirements in designing standard architectural exhibits utilizing custom features to create walls, windows and specific design requirements for construction in residential/commercial and industrial architecture.

ARCH 1291 - Visual Studies II - 2012-2013

Visual Studies II builds on the knowledge of architectural representation and visualization obtained in ARCH 1111 and ARCH 1191. This course is taken in tandem with ARCH 1210 (Architectural Design II: Foundations), and focuses particularly on: precise crafting of physical and analogue models and architectural presentations, analogue and digital rendering techniques, and representation of geospatial information. The course provides the tools for students in their design work by strengthening their skills visually, verbally, and graphically so they may demonstrate their fluency in and understanding of key design vocabulary, concepts, and visual techniques.

ARCH 3591 Architectural Animation - 2010-2012

Production of composite renderings, 3D animated models, time-lapse studies, walk through animations, photo realistic renderings and exporting digital models for modification or production with other  design tools.
