Course Descriptions

Lower Division Courses

Environmental Design
This introductory course explores the physical relationship between mankind and nature. Slide presentations, field trips and readings will outline the histories and forms of settlement patterns, landscapes and gardens, and our increasing interest in sustainable development, renewable energy and conservation. Sketching, design and model-building in landscape settings. Intended for design, history and science students. Formerly AR 2055 - Design and Nature - This introductory design course explores the relationship between natural and artificial design systems. Readings, field trips, illustrated lectures and seminar sessions outline the histories and forms of settlements and landscapes, design attitudes towards 14ture, and our increasing interests in green design strategies, sustainable urban development, environmental footprint reduction, renewable energy and conservation. Each student completes an individual research assignment, and contributes to a team design project. Intended for Visual Arts, Urban Studies, Environmental Studies and Science students. Office hours visits recommended. Required field trips and lab fee.

Environment: Sci, Law and Policy
Using proble-based investigations and case studies, students will examine scientific, legal and policy aspects of selected topics. The course includes field trips to environmentally sensitive sites and guest speakers.

Statistics I
This course introduces students to descriptive statistics, probability theory, discrete and continuous probability distributions, sampling methods, sampling distributions, estimation and hypothesis testing.

Urbanism
A historical introduction to the issues, principles and processes of urban design in western societies.

Upper Division Courses

Architectural Design I
Prerequisites: AR 1135 or permission. Corequisites: AR 2061 or permission. Introducing the basic language of three-dimensional form, this studio course will involve students in the process of architectural vision and creation. Sketching, diagramming, scale model making and computer model making are the tools used in this process.

Architectural Design II
Prerequisites: AR 2060, AR 2061, or permission. Corequisites: AR 3071. This intermediate studio course will focuson the design of public buildings in New York City, informed by contemporary theories of context, typology, place, narrative and tectonics. Students will explore their designs through sketching, diagramming, model-building and computer modeling, rendering and animation. Portfolio presentation.

Criminology
This course surveys the state of knowledge and theories explaining criminal behavior and attempts to control it by society. Although the sociological perspective on crime is emphasized, class discussion and the text attempt to examine the subject from a multidisciplinary point of view, especially with respect to legal, biological and psychological views of crime.

Labor Economics
