ARC 2022: Architecture Studio 2: Architectural Design Methods


Increasing facility with methods of architectural design communicated through orthographic,
axonometric, and perspective drawings and principles of composition based in traditional and
modernist precedent studies. Emphasizes problem-solving through an iterative process, including
planning, properties of materials, structural assemblies as design elements, and the importance of
physical context. Concludes with mid-semester e-portfolio review.

ARC 2032: History of Architecture after 1400s


The historical development of architecture after ca. 1400 in locations around the world, including
Europe, the Americas, Persian Gulf, and East Asia. Emphasizing aesthetic and architectural

between culture, ecology, and buildings, especially related to global building traditions
introduced in ARC 2031.

ARC 2051: Digital Representation 1


Two and three dimensional computer-aided drafting, utilizing architectural line weights and line
types to produce communicative documentation. Introduction to various presentation methods,
interface with printing ad page setup, and computer rendering principles.

ARC 1895: Folio Thinking (one credit course)


Through inquiry, reflection and integration, students will bring coherence to, synthesize, and
integrate learning experiences inside and outside of the classroom in the context of a liberal arts
university by producing an electronic portfolio for both academic and professional purposes.
This course will introduce students to the basis of documenting, curating, reflecting on, and
showcasing learned proficiencies as shown through such artifacts as visual and written work. The
course will emphasize both visual and written/reflective components of creating and critique.
Students will also be introduced to professional practices in preparation for an internship.
