ARCH 449/549 Architectural Programming Workshop
Seredits
Full 2008 Monday/Wednesday 6pm-7:20pm
Description: This course covers comprehensive architectural pre-design. The course
consists of presentations, workshops, guest lectures and site visits. The workshop
learning experience is active and interactive. Student earning here is individual as well
Sa group effort and team effort, and requires regular and very active participation.
‘This course is built around investigation of how values guide programmatic decisions,
research supports those decisions and design brings those values to life in our built
environment. The application ofthis idea will happen at a master planning (site
planning) scale and at a building planning seal.
Educational Objectives:
Students will learn various perspectives of programming theory and will develop
programs. They will participate in groups to research and present two kinds of
programs at two programming workshops. A final paper and example program will be
completed individually. Each student will earn about the following programmatic
armature to develop a simplified program during the group workshops.
Calral: architecture sean expression of eas and theories
+ Temporal: inerior/exeio spatial relationships over tine
+ Human:the bl nvironment and human interactions
Context clsral nd ste context
‘+ Aesthetic: structure as form/space generators and expresion
4+ Bnvironmental climate design
+ Technological: building assembles, detain and materials
1+ Safety: local zoning and busing code understanding
+ Beonomic impliations of program choicesCourse requirements
