ARCH 2142-01
ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS
SECTION DESCRIPTION
This course will develop one's ability to critically read and understand architecture through formal, geometric, tectonic and spatial analytic processes. Analysis acts as an intermediary between observation, expression, and understanding, offering deep insights into works of architecture. The course builds upon the processes introduced in Architectural Projection. Through various conceptual and representational frameworks, the issues of mapping-layers. Point of view, scale, morphology, topography and tectonics will be explored as part of a larger creative process, embracing visual imagination, communication and critique.
Estimated Cost of Materials: $20.00 - $100.00
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Enrollment is limited to Sophomore Architecture Students.
Major Requirement | BArch: Architecture

INTEGRATED BUILDING SYSTEMS
SECTION DESCRIPTION
Conceived as the culmination of the technologies sequence of courses, this course allows students to choose amongst the three instructor's differing approaches to the problem of conceiving technology holistically, in relation to a set of architectural criteria. The conceptual and technical aspects of building systems are considered and emergent environmentally-conscious technologies are emphasized for research and application.
Prerequisite: All required technologies courses.
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Enrollment is limited to Architecture Students.

PRINCIPLES OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
SECTION DESCRIPTION
This is a course about becoming a licensed architect, a business professional and an active, engaged and responsible citizen. It is intended to help prepare students for the challenges and opportunities confronted by a life in Architecture. Lectures are organized around four themes: The architect as a trained and certified Professional in traditional and alternative careers; the architect as an operative in the world of business and commerce; the origins of architectural projects; and the detailed work performed through professional Architectural Contracts. Regular panels, composed of RISD alums and other allied professionals provide an external perspective on all elements of the course, and allow students the opportunity to direct discussion in ways appropriate to their needs.
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Enrollment is limited to Architecture Students.
