MEANS & METHODS ACROSS TEXAS

Arch 4341 · Jimmy Johnson

ARCH 4341 provides an exploration into proper means and methods of construction and design, and to bring together the influence that they have on the design of buildings. The class will utilize the State of Texas as a medium for the in-depth study of how environment, climate, and geology play a role in making decisions regarding critical parts of the building. We will explore how codes, regulations, and laws also control design of specific building systems. With a thorough understanding of outside influence and regulatory requirements, the student will learn how to properly make good design decisions in the design of building envelopes.

Potent Portfolios

Arch 4341 · Oscar Natividad

An interview for a design job is incomplete without a portfolio. A strong portfolio not only shows a future employer the candidate's skill and talent but can also give the candidate confidence in their work, technique, and skill.

This course is designed to foster, cultivate, and grow the confidence needed to step out into the workforce as a strong design candidate.

Mapping the City + Drawing Architecture

Arch 4341 (Seville) · Pedro Mena Vega

This course explores visual communication in architecture, focusing on two major fields of knowledge: the mapping of a given reality and the production of images for a project. Students are expected to apply, test and question the various methods of representation displayed and lessoned in class. Attention will be paid to typography, color, and design qualities of the drawings as much as to their conceptual value. The first part of the course will revolve around mapping public space, using a varied array of specific examples from historical city centers. In the second part, students will select an architectural work and generate a graphic concept about it. All along, minor assignments dealing with the illustration of essential texts on Aesthetics, Design and Architecture will also test their abilities in this regard.
