CEE 10AX: Chicago Architecture: History and Form

Chicago is America's architectural hub. Rebuilt, phoenix-like, out of a devastating fire, but at a moment of great technological change, Chicago is the birthplace of grand American planning - the high-rise, construction technologies - and continues to this day to be a place of urban and architectural innovation.nnIn this course students will be introduced to the history of Chicago including the Burnham Plan, the technological developments of the iron structure, modern curtain wall, and elevator that allowed for the first high-rises, the subsequent development of innovative structural systems, and the modern high-rise. Further investigation will include the legacies of Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies Van Der Rohe, SOM, and others.nnBased at a Chicago Architecture firm, the class will mix a short high-rise design exercise on a real site with discussions with local architects, field trips to landmark structures, and exploration of current development and planning issues. The course will include extensive walks and trips using local transit.nnThis course is open to all students regardless of their experience in architecture.

CEE 14SC: When Engineers Go Sailing: the Science and Technology of America's Cup Yachts and Matches

Intense competition drives technological advancement in many sports; the America's Cup sailing competition stands out as a leading venue for innovation. The 34th AC competition will take place in San Francisco Bay during September 2013, providing close proximity, great timing, and the showcasing of major new technologies to create a special learning opportunity for Sophomore College students. This seminar will introduce students to engineering fundamentals, computer-based modeling and design, and advanced materials, using America's Cup technology as examples. The course will include guest speakers from America's Cup teams, visits to facilities, and field trips to matches. Students will complete readings and queries prior to the class sessions; class and laboratory exercises for sailing, modeling, and materials testing; group observation and analysis of America's Cup races; and group course projects analyzing a part of the technology for an America's Cup yacht. The course will also explore how students can apply engineering fundamentals, modeling techniques, advanced materials, and processes of innovation to other activities and industries. The seminar is offered for 2 units with S/NC grading.

CEE 31: Accessing Architecture Through Drawing

Preference to Architectural Design and CEE majors; others by consent of instructor. Drawing architecture to probe the intricacies and subtleties that characterize contemporary buildings. How to dissect buildings and appreciate the formal elements of a building, including scale, shape, proportion, colors and materials, and the problem solving reflected in the design. Students construct conventional architectural drawings, such as plans, elevations, and perspectives. Limited enrollment.

CEE 31Q: Accessing Architecture Through Drawing

Preference to sophomores. Drawing architecture provides a deeper understanding of the intricacies and subtleties that characterize contemporary buildings. How to dissect buildings and appreciate the formal elements of a building, including scale, shape, proportion, colors and materials, and the problem solving reflected in the design. Students construct conventional architectural drawings, such as plans, elevations, and perspectives. Limited enrollment.

CEE 32A: Psychology of Architecture

This course argues that architecture often neglects the interdisciplinary investigation of our internal psychological experience and the way it impacts our creation of space. How does our inner life influence external design? How are we impacted emotionally, physically, psychologically by the spaces we inhabit day to day? How might we intentionally imbue personal and public spaces with specific emotions? This seminar serves as a call to action for students interested in approaching architecture with a holistic understanding of the emotional impact of space. Sample topics addressed will include: conscious vs. unconscious design; the ego of architecture; psycho-spatial perspectives; ideas of home; integral/holistic architecture; phenomenology of inner and outer spaces; exploring archetypal architecture; and translating emotion through environment.

CEE 32B: Design Theory (ARTHIST 232B)

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. nnnOne 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. nnnRather 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.

CEE 32Q: Place: Making Space Now (ARTHIST 232Q)

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 46Q: Fail Your Way to Success

Preference to sophomores. How to turn failures into successes; cases include minor personal failures and devastating engineering disasters. How personalities and willingness to take risks influence the way students approach problems. Field trips, case studies, and guest speakers applied to students day-to-day interactions and future careers. Goal is to redefine what it means to fail.
