Emphasis will be placed upon developing competencies in data and graphics repeatability. ARCH 338 Skill development in the computer-aided design system in the schematic and design development phases of all architectural disciplines. The study of lighting and acoustics as major tools in designing interior spaces through actual problem-solving. Emphasis is on task, ambient, and specialty lighting as well as noise reduction within and between spaces. ARCH 372 Study of interior architectural mechanical equipment as it relates to the proximate environment.
Emphasis is on heating, cooling, ventilation, and plumbing systems with attendant building codes.
ARCH 315 A project development course which emphasizes the integration of the environmental technologies for a minimum two-story building. The first semester includes schematic design and design development. The second semester includes continued design development and construction documents. The two must be completed sequentially in the same academic year. Not for graduate credit.
