Managing Natural Disaster Risk
Natural disasters arise from the interaction of natural processes, such as earthquakes or floods, with human development that suffers safety-related and economic losses. We cannot predict exactly when those disasters will occur, or prevent them entirely, but we have a number of engineering and policy options that can reduce the impacts of such events.

Design Theory
This seminar focuses on the key themes, histories, and methods of architectural theory -- a form of architectural practice that establishes the aims and philosophies of architecture. Architectural theory is primarily written, but it also incorporates drawing, photography, film, and other media. nnOne of the distinctive features of modern and contemporary architecture is its pronounced use of theory to articulate its aims. One might argue that modern architecture is modern because of its incorporation of theory. This course focuses on those early-modern, modern, and late-modern writings that have been and remain entangled with contemporary architectural thought and design practice. nnRather than examine the development of modern architectural theory chronologically, it is explored architectural through thematic topics. These themes enable the student to understand how certain architectural theoretical concepts endure, are transformed, and can be furthered through his/her own explorations.

Transparent Structures: Design-Build Seminar Proposal
This design-build seminar investigates the use of glass as a structural system and spatial medium. We will examine the physical and visual properties of engineered high-strength glass, and develop structural systems and spatial configurations that will expand our understanding of what glass can do. The seminar will culminate in a full-scale installation of the developed design on campus. The experiential objectives of the seminar draw upon Colin Rowe's definition of phenomenal transparency as a unique spatial order, in which the perception of space is fluctuating and in constant activity. The installation will act as a filter through which the surrounding context will be redefined, resulting in a complex spatial experience. This course may be repeat for credit.

Place: Making Space Now
This seminar argues that architeccts are ultimately "placemakers," and questions what that means in the contemporary world. Part I investigates the meaning of the word "place." Additional background for understanding contemporary place making will include a critique of the history of modern place-making through an examination of modern form. Part II examines two traditional notions of place by scale: from "home" to "the city." What elements give these conceptions of space a sense of place? To answer this question, themes such as memory, mapping, and boundary, among others, will be investigated. part III presents challenges to the traditional notions of place discussed in Part II. Topics addressed include: What does it mean to be "out of place"? What sense of place does a nomad have, and how is this represented? What are the "non-places" and how can architects design for these spaces? Part IV addresses the need to re-conceptualize contemporary space. The role of digital and cyber technologies, the construction of locality in a global world, and the in-between places that result from a world in flux are topics discussed in this section of the seminar. nLearning goals: Specific goals include clsoe reading of texts, understanding of philosophical thinking and writing, argument under uncertainty, and developed concepts of place, space and architecture.

CEE 282:
Nonlinear Structural Analysis
Introduction to methods of geometric and material nonlinear analysis, emphasizing modeling approaches for framed structures. Large-displacement analysis, concentrated and distributed plasticity models, and nonlinear solution methods. Applications to frame stability and performance-based seismic design. Assignments emphasize computer implementation and applications. Prerequisites: 280 and an advanced course in structural behavior (e.g., 285A, 285B or equivalent).
| Units: 3-4
CEE 316:
Sustainable Built Environment Research
Intended for early stage Ph.D. students in Sustainable Design and Construction (SDC). Covers dominant methodological approaches at the intersection of engineering, social management science and computer science. Overviews an array of methods available for research, focusing on methods commonly used in SDC. Publications using various methods will be analyzed, and journal review processes will be discussed. Major deliverable is research proposal using one or more of the methods discussed. Students will gain familiarity with the array of methods available for SDC research, know how to apply the methods in their own research area, and receive guidance on publishing their research in scientific journals.
