1. History

2. Urbanization

3. Integrated Design Studio

4. Teamwork

5. Structural Engineering

6. Building Information Modeling, Sustainability, and Energy Modeling

7. Free-Hand DrawingStudents will develop their individual skills of free-hand drawing that will enable them to see, communicate, and to conceptualize.Students will execute several assignments in an iterative process that sharpens their design drawing communication.

8. Seminars/Lectures

9. Readings and ReportsVarious reading assignments, group discussions and reports. Page 1

A few informal history discussions will begin developing a value system by identifying and judging the best buildings that will help decision-making. History of architectural design will seek to develop methodologies and process for useful work approaches.

Design exercises will require students to create buildings ranging from simple to complex; developing graphic and modeling skills, three dimensional representation, energy analysis, design thinking, structure, and mechanical concepts. Graphic and verbal presentations will be required.

Practicing professionals will present case studies of architectural, engineering, contracting, management, and development, that will provide the student with a foundation; for understanding the complexity of architectural practice; and a general appreciation of the modern design world.

Student Designs will be developed using REVIT (a BIM platform) followed by energy simulations using EQUEST (an energy modeling platform).

Using the development of Chicago infrastructure and architecture since 1850, students will gain an understanding of the forces at work in our environment.

Professors from Engineering will interact with the studio design work with engineering analysis and calculations of engineering aspects of the design solutions.

The complexity of our modern world requires teams of professionals to work together to address building design. A one-week team project with Stanford AE+D students over the internet in second quarter is followed by a third quarter team project for the design of a tall building.

The goal of this 2-year program of Design Studio/Seminars/Research is to give students a strong, comprehensive and broad understanding of architecture, design, and engineering in the context of our present world. The program will focus on integration of design + engineering, design methods, history, creative thinking, and research while requiring students to realize designs individually as well as working in teams. The program seeks to reinforce creative engineering for future engineers or lead to a Masters in Architecture at an Architecture Graduate Program.
