Construction Case Studies Advanced
|
|
|
Through lectures and a case study approach, students investigate recently completed architectural projects, analysing their tangible, material resolution as an expression of design intent. A major component of this course will involve students undertaking a detailed case study of one such architectural project.

The Architecture of Urban Housing
|
|
|
This course explores the impact that globalization has had on the design and development of urban housing and its implications for critical practice in Canada. Through the lens of critical practice, students will be exposed to cultural, political, economic and other factors that have an effect on the design of contemporary housing and associated living environments. This reading-intensive course will include discussion sessions led by the instructor and/or invited guests on one or more of the subject's core themes, augmented by comparative analyses of seminal housing projects located in major urban centres worldwide.

Architectural Theory Since 1968
|
|
|
This course surveys the major trajectories in architectural theory since 1968 that form part of the context for current architectural practice. The first half of the course will focus on a number of trajectories that can now be treated historically; semiotics, critical histories, phenomenology, deconstruction, critical regionalism, and identity politics. Building on this foundation, the second half of the course will consider current and emerging theoretical frameworks for architecture.

Canadian Architecture Since 1945
|
|
|
This course exposes students to the recent history of Canadian architecture, from the immediate post-war to the present. The conditions will be examined that led to and facilitated the spread of modernism as an important mode of architectural production and expression in post-war Canada, and how these contributed to a national architectural identity, particularly in the context of Canada's celebration of the 1967 centennial of Confederation.

Advanced Digital Design
|
|
|
Digital design using computer software has evolved through a number of modes of design practice. Recent software applications have introduced more fluid interfaces that allow for serendipitous design discovery that can emerge from sketching and experimenting with forms. Students in this course will explore the potential of a number of types of software to support the digital design process. These digital tools will be examined within a general creative context.
