EDAD702 Architectural Design VII 6cr

Design studio with a complex, multi-storied program in an urban site, in which students integrate a site analysis with an historical context, public space and select structural systems and enclosure, and the development of sustainable systems integration relevant for planning neighborhoods and communities in the Boston area. Students analyze urban and historical site and building precedents, select and design steel and concrete frame systems that support their project concept, site and proposed uses, develop typical wall sections illustrating an understanding of fire separation assemblies, sustainable building envelope systems, and hone graphic design skills in their presentations.
