ASF 20A Separators-A 0 units
This course examines the building science theory and principles applied to the control of moisture, heat, air and solar radiation flows across building separators. The fire safety and acoustical performance of separators are also examined. Principles and analytical techniques presented in the first term of the course are applied to the design of building envelopes in the second term. Related issues are reviewed within the context of existing and emerging building technology.
ASF 25A Theory II-A 0 units
A study of the language of visual expression in architecture based on Euclidean, descriptive and projective Geometry. Numerous exercises cover such areas as composition, proportion, symmetry, polyhedra, space packing/lattices and space-time. Selected historical and contemporary examples are used in demonstration.
ASF 26A Structures I-A 0 units
The basic principles of statics and strength of materials are applied to simple structural systems. The external forces acting on the structure and its elements and their response to the external forces are investigated. The effect of material selection on the performance of the building components and structure is investigated. The process of evaluation, selecting and assembling traditional building materials and its components using wood is examined.
ASF 29A Management II-A 0 units
Examines the regulatory frameworks and authorities having jurisdiction, that determine physical qualities of the built environment. Introduces standards of construction, documents and contracts. Explores the concept of construction as an economic activity; studies the economic objectives, resources and constraints of participants in the development and construction processes; Investigates the principles, techniques and issues of construction economics and the financial aspects of real property development. Overview of construction management systems and computer applications for project scheduling, cost control and project management.
ASF 32A Studio II-A 0 units
The studio courses focus on the development of creative, spatial, analytic and problem solving skills and visual communication of the solutions. This studio studies design for Architecture and Landscape Architecture with studio projects of increasing complexity examining design principles, function, programming, structure, building science and technology, together with concepts of site planning, zoning and building by-laws. Students are required to research case studies and to demonstrate methodology, initiative, judgement, creativity, skill, and cooperation in their solutions studio exercises.
ASF 200 Systems II 1 units
Applications of the systems approach introduced in ASF 100, Systems I, are to be examined. The sensitivities of the ecological balances are discussed in relation to the natural, controlled and built-environments. Differing methods of integrating systems in the designed environment are compared. The significance and nature of interdisciplinary approaches to environmental design are stressed.
ASF 328 History II 1 units
The course surveys the History of Architecture and Landscape Architecture since industrialization, in terms of process/product and the impacts of technology, cultural and social change. Using case studies from the Industrial Revolution, through Internationalism to post-Modernism, the interrelated dynamic of social, political, cultural and technological influences on the evolution of architecture and the contemporary approach to Architecture and Landscape Architecture, is studied.
ASF 320 Materials 2 units
The course examines: the fundamental properties of materials; bonds within and between atoms; bonds between molecules; crystal structure; mechanical properties of materials and test methods. The manufacture, properties and uses of the following building materials are examined: stone, metals, thermoplastics and thermosets, elastomers, fibres and textiles, wood, ceramic materials, composites, finishes and coatings.
PCS 181 Introduction to Astronomy 1 units
This course will examine astronomical ideas both in relation to their times and in the light of current scientific theory and technical data. Application of the scientific method will be emphasized in evaluating these data and theories. Method of collection and analysis of data will be presented to help the nontechnical student in asking fundamental questions about scientific theories. Topics covered include cosmology, origin of the stars and galaxies, evolution of stars, the solar system, exobiology, death of stars, stellar remnants and the age of the universe.
all my courses are year long, except the last 2
