Architectural Fundamentals
Students will study and apply architectural theory, the architectural development process, and the design process related to construction. They will study historical practices, methods and materials, identify current practices, and use tools to forecast future trends. Students will study basic building and material terminology. They will study the physical qualities, manufacturing processes, installation techniques and the organizational processes of construction materials and methods. Students will study sustainable development initiatives such as LEED. They will apply and analyze energy efficiency modeling software, and study building envelope design, materials, and create detail drawings.

Single Family Residential
Students will study architectural design and residential plan set development in a working environment scenario involving the design of single family residence. They will work within a design team and complete a full plan set that will be building permit ready. Students will produce a set of drawings that includes site plan, floor plan, foundation, framing schematic, section and details, and exterior elevations. They will base their project on a unique client portfolio and custom design criteria. Students will prepare a sustainability and energy efficiency analysis of their design. They will make a presentation to the class of their completed project.

Commercial Buildings
Students will develop the design and then prepare a site plan, building plans, schematics, sections and details for a commercial building. They will use glazing and storefront components, apply codes and standards, and prepare interior and exterior elevations. Students will develop schedules and specifications, explain coordination procedures to ensure completion of the project, and give a presentation of the project. They will explain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards and its applications.
