History of Architecture I
A survey of the traditions of architecture until 1400 C.E. Focus on visual environmental literacy through the analysis of key design movements with attention to broad contexts.

A comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of the International Building Code (IBC) that is adopted and used throughout most jurisdictions of the United States to regulate the use, design, construction, and maintenance of buildings.
An introduction to Rhinoceros three-dimensional surface modeling software. Rhino's NURB based geometry enables the construction of free-form organic surfaces that can be applied to architectural and other design fields such as jewelry, marine, transportation, and industrial designs. The focus will be on creating, editing, and transforming three-dimensional surface models.
Comprehensive survey of all major building materials and systems of assembly in architecture and construction. Topics include wood, masonry, concrete, steel, glass, foundations, roofing, walls, frames, doors, and windows as well as considerations of sustainability in the construction process.
Introduction to architectural concepts and principles through 2-D and 3-D design projects. Focus is on issues, requirements, and objectives related to visual perception of form and space, architectural meaning, spatial experiences, as these relate to the human condition.

Introduction to freehand drawing skills as a method of observation and visual communication in Architecture and Interior Design. The use of drawing in seeing and expressing shape, form, value, texture and proportion. Techniques include contour line, tonal drawing, and linear perspective. This course is part of an articulation agreement with UC Berkeley.
A continuing development of skills in freehand drawing methods including contour line, tonal drawing, and linear perspective techniques. Introduction to color media in freehand drawing. Emphasis on drawing from observation of buildings and architectural space.
Basic drawing techniques in graphic communication. Two and three-dimensional representations with various media expressing architectural ideas and concepts.
