CATALOG DESCRIPTION OF COURSE:
A study of the principles and practices of planning and design. An emphasis is placed on the study of design as a total process which includes aesthetics and environmental considerations as well as various mechanical, electrical and legal requirements.
COURSE PURPOSE:
This course has been designed to provide exposure to the planning and design process in commercial and residential architecture. The course emphasis is primarily to cover the specific steps and processes involved in residential architecture, from conception of design and styles to drawing development, using proven methods and emerging technologies. Attention is given to the history of architecture through research which includes aesthetic and environmental considerations, along with current building codes, various zoning, and the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. A client's approach will be developed through the design process, culminating in a final presentation.
EXPECTED COURSE OUTCOMES:
To develop an understanding of how each step of the design process is important to effectively create a design to fulfill the client's individual requirements and desires, as well as the efficient use of the designer's time and efforts allowing entrepreneurship and business success, by an integration of 3-D visualization and the use of the technological application of the twenty-first Century. The student will be expected to achieve the following objectives:
1. Identify various styles and influences of American and European architecture, and to detail what constitutes the elements of structure of each style.
2. Apply the practice and principles of designing and planning spaces into functional and effective space environments.
3. Through theoretical and actual problem solving activities demonstrate competence in the development of highly desirable and liveable residential environments.
4. Develop an understanding of the phases and steps involved in developing a complete client architectural presentation.
5. Develop a Design Composition Book using research, field assignments and written reports.
6. Analytically research site considerations and the relationship to a new physical structure with existing surrounding environments and utilities, including the impact on each.
7. Acquire a working knowledge of the objectives of client interviewing, with the relationship of design development to a final conclusion, having desirable and functional results.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE ACTIVITIES: (Attendance/Punctuality)
Consistent and punctual attendance is both expected and required for your successful completion of the course. Absences will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Death or grave illness in the family, childbirth, impassable roads are of course beyond our control. Decisions to celebrate anniversaries, for example, or attend concerts, go on hunting safaris, or participate in a variety of extra-curricular affairs are not. Students will be expected to make up any work missed as a result of absence, whether or not the absence was justified. Unannounced class exercises may not be made up. Excessive absences will reduce the final grade for the course. Two absences will result in a grade reduction of one letter grade. Four; two letter grades, and six or more will result in an automatic "F" for the course.
ASSIGNMENT DUE DATES:
Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period on the date indicated when the assignment is given. After the assignment due date, work will be accepted up to one week late with a corresponding grade reduction of one letter grade. Reading assignments are considered preparation for the lecture period. The student is responsible for all material assigned even if not discussed in class. Quizzes over assignments may be given without prior announcement.
STUDENT EVALUATION:
Grades will be based upon formal written examinations, periodic quizzes, written assignments including composition books, and meaningful class discussion/participation/presentations.
Class Assignments/Exercises/Participation...........40%
Written Examinations....................................25%
Final Drawings/Model Presentation...................35%
1. Class participation means interaction with fellow students and the instructor--not simple presence. Class comments will reflect reading and honest consideration of the viewpoints of fellow students.
2. Written examinations and the final exam (the exact form of final is to be at the discretion of instructor) will constitute the formal evaluation instruments utilized in this course. Unannounced class exercises cannot be made up.
3. Performance on examinations and subsequent cumulative course averages will be based upon standard definitive grade values as indicated below:
90 - 100 = A 60 - 69 = D
80 - 89 = B Below 60 = F
70 - 79 = C
4. The final examination/presentations will be administered at 5:30 p.m. Thursday , December 12.
5. Students are advised that the last date during the semester when they may drop a course with an automatic "W" will be Friday, December 6. If you decide to drop after this date, you will receive the grade you have earned up to the drop date. The grade of "W" will be assigned if your grade is a "D" or higher; and an "F" will be assigned if you stop attending and have not turned in assignments or have not taken scheduled exams prior to the drop date.
ADA COMPLIANCE:
If any member of the class feels that he/she has a disability and needs special accommodations of any nature whatsoever, the instructor will work with you and the University's Office of Student Affairs to provide reasonable accommodations to ensure that you have a fair opportunity to perform in this class. Please advise the instructor of such disability and the desired accommodations at the first class attended.
