Calendar Description: Introduction to architectural design; consideration of building form in relation to program, structural system, material selection, site and climate; further development of skills in model making, conventional architectural drawing, axonometric and perspective drawing, sketching, and architectural rendering. The course is based in the studio and includes lectures, seminars, and field trips. Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) Student Performance Criteria (SPC): A1, A2, A3, A4. Topic and themes: Architectural Design for the Urban Landscape. This studio explores building design through formal expression, spatial organization, technical resolution, and sustainability. Through four projects that build on each other, students develop skills in program analysis (A4), site analysis, and architectural design with contextual and ecological considerations (A2). Students hone their abilities in representation (plan, section, elevation, wall section, 3D views) using digital drawing and physical + digital modeling techniques to produce comprehensive documentation sets (A3). Research and studio presentations of precedents and building types, urban design/organizational strategies, and materials — leading to their final building design proposals — invite students to develop critical thinking skills as they explore the contingencies that shape architecture (A1). Coordination: Please note that to effectively coordinate and manage student workload, instructors should work closely with colleagues and administration ahead of the semester to confirm scope, schedule, and assignments. Deadlines and tests will be finalized with the larger team and following discussion of resources and technical support. Studio coordinator: Prof. Annmarie Adams Please note: This studio is team taught which means that multiple instructors are assigned to teach this course. Instructors may work with different groups of students throughout the term. All candidates work closely with the Director as well as the Studio Coordinator to ensure that course material meets the University Calendar regulations, the pedagogical objectives of the School, and the specific Canadian Architectural Certification Board Student Performance Criteria (CACB – SPC) for the specific course. Description du calendrier : Introduction à la conception architecturale ; prise en compte de la forme du bâtiment par rapport au programme, au système structurel, au choix des matériaux, au site et au climat ; développement ultérieur des compétences en matière de modélisme, de dessin architectural conventionnel, de dessin axonométrique et en perspective, d'esquisse et de rendu architectural. Le cours se déroule en studio et comprend des conférences, des séminaires et des sorties sur le terrain. Critères de performance des étudiants (SPC) du Conseil canadien de certification en architecture (CACB) : A1, A2, A3, A4. Sujet et thèmes : Conception architecturale pour le paysage urbain. Ce studio explore la conception des bâtiments à travers l'expression formelle, l'organisation spatiale, la résolution technique et la durabilité. À travers quatre projets qui s'appuient les uns sur les autres, les étudiants développent des compétences en analyse de programme (A4), en analyse de site et en conception architecturale avec des considérations contextuelles et écologiques (A2). Les étudiants perfectionnent leurs capacités en représentation (plan, coupe, élévation, coupe de mur, vues 3D) en utilisant des techniques de dessin numérique et de modélisation physique + numérique pour produire des ensembles de documentation complets (A3). Les recherches et les présentations en studio sur les précédents et les types de bâtiments, les stratégies de conception urbaine/organisationnelle et les matériaux — menant à leurs propositions finales de conception de bâtiments — invitent les étudiants à développer leur pensée critique tout en explorant les contingences qui façonnent l'architecture (A1). Coordination : veuillez noter que pour coordonner et gérer efficacement la charge de travail des étudiants, les instructeurs doivent travailler en étroite collaboration avec leurs collègues et l'administration avant le semestre pour confirmer la portée, le calendrier et les missions. Les délais et les tests seront finalisés avec l’ensemble de l’équipe et après discussion sur les ressources et le support technique. Coordinatrice du studio : Professeur Annmarie Adams Veuillez noter : ce studio est enseigné en équipe, ce qui signifie que plusieurs instructeurs sont affectés à l'enseignement de ce cours. Les instructeurs peuvent travailler avec différents groupes d'étudiants tout au long du trimestre. Tous les candidats travaillent en étroite collaboration avec le directeur ainsi qu'avec le coordonnateur du studio pour s'assurer que le matériel de cours respecte les règlements du calendrier universitaire, les objectifs pédagogiques de l'école et les critères de performance des étudiants du Conseil canadien de certification en architecture (CACB – SPC) spécifiques pour le cours spécifique.
