    Surveys architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and planning in the U.S. from ca. 1600 to the present. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 2130 (minimum grade C-).
    Focuses on working with a variety of alternative photographic processes intended to give students an array of photographic techniques to incorporate into studio course presentations and portfolio work. Processes include hand-applied color to black and white images, using two or more negatives to produce black and white combination prints, shooting color slides to produce graphic arts, high-contrast black and white prints, and documentary photography of Colorado architecture and urban landscapes using color slide film. Students must provide their own 35mm SLR camera. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 3022 or ARTS 2191 (minimum grade C-).
    Introduces the mechanics of entering 2-D images and 3-D objects into the computer. Once entered, graphics are interactively rotated in space, walked through, and displayed in perspective from any position. Also covers the mechanics of other computer programs allowing additional manipulation of images and objects. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 2130 (minimum grade C-).

    Offers an advanced course dealing with theories of imaging and methods of improving imaging in the design process. Open to nonmajors.

    Covers development of an architectural set of construction documents combined with job administration, field observation, and guest speakers from related construction and architectural disciplines. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite course of ENVD 2130 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to Program in Environmental Design major or minor students only.

    Explores the interdisciplinary field of environmental aesthetics, examining the history of landscape tastes, theoretical approaches to the study of aesthetic responses, and contemporary attempts to incorporate matters of aesthetics in American planning. Emphasizes developing analytical and critical approaches to aesthetics in the public realm.

    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.
    A seminar providing students with a descriptive knowledge and analytical understanding of the use and development of residential settings in different political economies, globally divided into advanced capitalist nations, collectivist economies, and the third world.
