Overview
This seminar examines two related aspects of the role of building
technology in architecture: methods of integrating building systems
(structure, enclosure, services, site and interiors) in support
of an architectural design concept, the tectonic possibilities
of expressing these systems in architectural form and detail. The
vehicles for this work include reading and discussion, focused
case studies of precedent buildings, site visits and analysis of
campus facilities.
Learning Objectives*
By the end of this class, each student should be able demonstrate
an:
- ability to gather, assess, record, and
apply relevant information in architectural
coursework
- ability to assess, select, and conceptually integrate
structural systems, building
envelope systems, environmental systems, life-safety systems,
and building service systems into building design
- understanding of the basic principles and appropriate
application and performance of plumbing, electrical, vertical
transportation, communication, security, and fire protection
systems, building envelope materials and assemblies, environmental
systems, integrated with the building envelope
- understanding of the evolution, range, and appropriate
application of contemporary structural systems

Criteria
Requirements
Students are required to attend all classes and participate regularly
in discussions. There are required readings (with discussion),
lecture and case study presentations, graphic analyses
and several local field trips. Field trips
are scheduled during class time and on those days, students
are expected to wear clothing and shoes appropriate to visiting
construction sites. Most assignments will be presented during
class and must be completed and turned in on time.
Course Organization
The course is organized as follows
Part One |
Architectural Design & Integration
Strategies |
Weeks 1-3 |
Part
Two |
Integrating Building Systems: Site, Structure,
Enclosure, Mechanical Services and Interiors |
Weeks 4-11 |
Detailed information is provided on the Schedule.
Web Site
This course is also supported by a Web Site that will be updated
on a regular basis. To get started, go to:
http://www.uidaho.edu/armpriest/Arch568/index.html
and follow the links. Any class updates will be on the 568 Home
Page.
Grading Criteria
Participation in class discussions and
field trips, and timely completion of all assignments is required.
Criteria are as follows:
| A |
Superior |
Superior work goes beyond the basic
requirements of simply answering questions or following an outline.
It will demonstrate the ability to fully engage the subject
and explore relevant ideas or issues in a thoughtful and creative
manner. |
| B |
Satisfactory |
Satisfactory work is competent, complete, and
accurate. |
| C |
Adequate |
Work demonstrates a rudimentary understanding
of the issues, but is in some way flawed. The work may be incomplete,
inaccurate, intellectually sloppy, or a combination thereof. |
| F |
Unsatisfactory |
Unsatisfactory work demonstrates a lack of interest
or ability to engage the work and ideas of the course. It is
incomplete, inaccurate, intellectually sloppy, or a combination
thereof. Evidence of academic dishonesty is an automatic F per
University standards. |
Disability Services Statement
Reasonable accommodations are available for
students who have a documented disability. Please notify the instructor
during the first week of class of any accommodation(s) needed
