ARCH 3102 - Design VI

Fall, spring. 6 credits.

Prerequisites: ARCH 3101. Enrollment limited to: department students.

Staff.

One of the key design experiences during this semester will be the dialogic interaction of architectural conceptions and building subsystems as simulated in the design studio. The requirements of building subsystems are seen to both support and inform architectural concepts and form. Questions of passive architectural responses versus active technical responses, as well as issues of thermal comfort, energy efficiency, sustainability, structure, and life safety will be addressed.
