Courses

The first of four architecture studios, this class introduces students to the basic strategies and techniques of architectural design. Focuses on the languages of design, as well as on traditional and digital methods of visualizing architectural ideas and forms. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 2002 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
This class exposes students to a sequence of design investigations that lead to the development of design concepts for critical evaluation and discussion. The intent of this introductory design studio is to expose students to fundamental design practices common to the disciplines---architecture, landscape architecture, planning, urban design---that share the responsibility for shaping the designed environment. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 2002 (minimum grade C-).

The first of four upper-division studios introduces students to the basic strategies and techniques of architectural design. Focuses on the languages of design, as well as on traditional and digital methods of visualizing architectural ideas and forms. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 2110 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to students with 57-180 credits (Junior or Senior) Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
Design studio dealing with problems at an intermediate level of complexity: emphasis is on the interaction of form, use, and multiple values and technologies in conjunction with issues and techniques drawn from other content area courses of the curriculum. Recommended prereq., ENVD 2130. Prerequisites: Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
See ENVD 2120. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 2120 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
Design lab exploring new and emerging themes in environmental design. May be repeated up to 18 total credit hours. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite courses of ENVD 3100, ENVD 3122 and ENVD 3124 (all minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
The second of the four upper-division studios focuses on concepts of medium-scale building design, siting, and climate. Through a number of design exercises, students learn how these factors help shape buildings. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 3110 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
Supervised practicum in some aspect of urban or regional planning. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 3220 (minimum grade C-).
Design lab exploring new and emerging themes in design. May be repeated up to 18 total credit hours. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 3300 (minimum grade C-).
Design lab exploring new and emerging themes in design. May be repeated up to 12 total credit hours. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 4100 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
See ENVD 2120. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 3300 (minimum grade C-).
Studio in landscape design. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 3300 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
A design studio exploring emerging issues and practices in historic preservation. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 3300 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
Advanced seminar focuses on theoretical concerns and practical issues inherent in environmental design and planning. Views concerns and issues in terms of setting, processes, and planning and design outcomes. Provides a critical synthesis of the inherently interdisciplinary nature of planning and design education. Prerequisites: Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
A preprofessional studio in landscape architecture. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 4340 (minimum grade C-).
The third of the four upper-division studios focuses on concepts of program, architectural meaning and human behavior in buildings. Through a number of design exercises, students learn how these factorshelp shape buildings. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 3310 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor or College of Engineering and Applied Sciences majors only.
A studio exploring emerging issues and practices. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 3300 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
The last of the four upper-division studios focuses on concepts of building technology, context and environmental sustainability. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 4510 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.
