ARCH 274 - Sustainability in Architectural Design

This studio-based course develops students’ individual responses and points of view to both architectural problems and the discipline itself and explicitly focuses on the architecture of residential buildings. Students learn about approaches that lead to the design of a sustainable building and gain understanding of the principles of Integrated Building Design Process and environmental design factors. Hands-on experience is accomplished by producing architectural drawings of a residential building, generating drawings of decorative gardens, and creating artistic images of buildings and small gardens with the help of 3D architectural software. In addition to lectures and readings related to course topics, class time is spent working on individual or group desk critiques and pin-up sessions.
