ARCH 4505EL

The final design studio of the BAS program proposes programs for various mid-scale buildings, from housing to industrial or cultural projects. Design projects are intended to incorporate building systems in a comprehensive manner. In keeping with CACB accreditation criteria, each project must display an "Ability to project a comprehensive design based on an architectural idea, a building program and a site. The design or designs should integrate structural and environmental systems, building envelopes, building assemblies, life-safety provisions, and environmental stewardship." While this scope is covered over two terms, the first term is devoted to site selection, architectural design, and building and environmental systems. A series of technical studies are integrated with the final design project. PREREQ: ARCH 3515 (stu 10.5) cr 6 and ARCH 0300 (exp) cr 2.
