ARCH 5301 - Eco-Mod Seminar
This seminar is focused on an evaluation of the third ecoMOD project. ecoMOD is a research and design / build / evaluate project at the School of Architecture, in partnership with the School of Engineering and Applied Science. The project goal is to develop ecological, prefabricated and affordable house prototypes for low-income families. Over the next several years, interdisciplinary teams of UVA students and faculty are designing and building several 600 to 1,400 square foot housing units. The completed homes are being evaluated carefully. The results of these efforts will directly influence later designs. The objective of the seminar is to analyze the third project, using the building monitoring, life cycle assessments, post occupancy evaluations and an affordability analysis. The course is open to graduate as well as 3rd and 4th year undergraduates from any program at the university. In particular, the instructor is hoping for a mix of architecture, landscape architecture, historic preservation, planning, economics, business and environmental science students. Engineering students will be enrolled in a separate course, led by engineering professor Paxton Marshall. The engineering students will meet with the class on a regular basis, so that all disciplines can work together on the final report.

ARCH 5320 - Some Assembly Required: Research and Development
This course functions as research and development seminar - the research and development initiatives will consist of three distinct and critically interdependent phases: first, case study analysis and interpretation; secondly, development of issue-specific project proposal; and thirdly, innovative advancement of research topic. In consultation with the course instructor, each research initiative focuses on a specific topic of building construction. Building materials, fabrication technologies, components, assemblies and systems are all potential areas of investigation. It is important to note that although the course emphasizes that each student’s investigation find its locus in a specific aspect of building construction - i.e. hybrid material composition, component fabrication processes, cladding assembly sequencing, mechanical system distribution or site staging - the research is also required to speculate on how overall building systems would be affected by the innovation of a specific material, fabrication process, component assembly, or system integration.

ARCH 5370 - Depth of Surface
Construction systems and material selection must be a generative process not a reactive application. What are the possibilities for the Depth of Surface to exploit the tension between internal criteria and external forces & context? The fundamental issues of buildability must be driven by a sense of ‘what do you want to see?’ as well as the pragmatic - with the detail reinforcing, not diluting, the whole. How can overall composition, form, performance and structure of building envelope come together (via detail) within a specific conceptual context?

ARCH 5420 - Digital Animation & Storytelling
An exploration of moviemaking through exercises in computer animation. Approximately five independently developed short animations constitute the work of the semester, culminating in a one- to five-minute long final movie project. It is anticipated that an interdisciplinary group of students admitted to the seminar will bring perspectives from across the visual and design arts. Movie projects may range in creative subject areas. Built and landscape architectural places may be experienced according to our own changing eye point of view, the transformation of light and objects, as well as the movement of other people. Story telling, whether by means of simple character animation or more complex scene description, may related to these contextual aspects of either real or imagined environments. This subject is more exclusively focused than ARCH 545 on animation as a means to creative moviemaking. Prerequisite: ARCH 3410/6410 or Instructor Permission.

Students have the option to use either computer graphics animation or video production. The links between perception, representation, and design are examined within both a historical and a contemporary critical framework. Prerequisite: ARCH 3410/6410 or instructor permission.

We use traditional drawing methods (graphite, colored pencil or ink on paper) as well as more unusual tools and materials (sidewalk chalk, earth, trash, recycled materials). Through brief weekly readings and discussions we explore the relationship between aesthetics and ethics¿between “good forms” and forms that in some way contribute or allude to the “common good.”

We stress the process rather then the artistic product and, like artist Sol LeWitt, define painting ‘as an activity on a flat plane.’ We make plane (and plain) images: configurations of relatively stable, still marks on two-dimensional surfaces. We use traditional methods (watercolor or ink on paper, acrylics on canvas) as well as more unusual tools and materials (sidewalk chalk, earth, trash, recycled materials).

ARCH 7230 - Design Development
Design Development is run as a laboratory design session twice a week for two hours. Formal and experiential design intentions are balanced with principal issues of comfort, life safety, structural stability, etc. in the resolution of a constrained design problem. The systems that shape the building are addressed at the scale of the urban block down to constructions at the scale of the hand but are made evident primarily at the scale of the building and the scale of the room.

ARCH 7250 - Environmental Systems and Lighting
Study of the fundamental principles applied to the design of thermal and luminous environments as well as plumbing/drainage and electrical systems. A studio project is selected for additional analysis and design development focusing on the energy-conscious building envelope, mechanical systems selection, natural and artificial lighting schemes, and the building services layout.
