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 112C: Industry Applications of Virtual Design & Construction (CEE 212C)
Following the Autumn- and Winter-quarter course series,
CEE 112C/212C is an industry-focused and project-based practicum that focuses on the industry applications of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). Students will be paired up with industry-based VDC projects with public owners and private developers, such as GSA Public Buildings Service, the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway, Optima, Walt Disney Imagineering, Microsoft facilities and/or other CIFE International members. Independently, students will conduct case studies and/or develop VDC and building information models (BIM) using off-the-shelf technologies for project analysis, collaboration, communication and optimization. Students will gain insights and develop skills that are essential for academic research, internships or industry practice in VDC. Prerequisite:
CEE 112A/212A,
CEE 112B/212B,
CEE 159C/259C,
CEE 159D/259D, or Instructor's Approval.

CEE 131A: Professional Practice: Mixed-Use Design in an Urban Setting
The delivery of a successful building design program involves unique collaboration between architect and client. This course will endeavor to teach the skills necessary for a designer to identify, evaluate, conceptualize and fully document a complex mixed-use urban design. Students will complete the course with a detailed knowledge of the consultants, engineers and other professionals needed for a complete program. Course deliverables will include three short assignments and a final project consisting of basic schematic drawings for the selected project.nnnGuest presenters will cover topics of interest. Lectures, discussions, in-class studio-work and an oral presentation.nnPre-requisite:

CEE 134C: Design Approaches to Mending a City: Rethinking the 101 in East Palo Alto (URBANST 172)
The omnipresence of automobile infrastructure negotiating the urban, suburban, and rural landscapes emphasizes the prioritization of this mode of transportation in the United States. Although the overlap of highway and urban area is sometimes addressed (and re-addressed), it tends to create sub-districts, fragmentation, and unnecessary conditions of separation. nnWhile serving as an important circulation network on the west coast, connecting Los Angeles to Seattle, the infrastructure of Highway 101 cuts through various communities, at times creating division at the local scale. One of the more marked manifestations of this division is in East Palo Alto, where the highway separates residents on the west side from schools and activities on the east side, acting as a barrier that must be navigated by car. nnThis studio aims to articulate the issues created by the presence of the highway and study design solutions that not only mitigate the presence of these two systems (highway and community) at a general level, but develop strategic approaches to the issues facing the specific area. In this regard, students will engage with the site, community members, and local officials. They will focus on the issues and impact of transportation infrastructure and offer design oriented ideas and responses for addressing the intersection of urban development and highway systems.
