An emphasis on the construction of medium to large scale building will examine relationships between design development and the building science and construction practices of structural systems and enclosures. Case studies and projects will be used to investigate: reinforced, precast and prestressed concrete construction; steel framing systems; building envelopes (curtain wall, window walls, glazing and roofing systems); fire protection; interior finish selection. The detailed technical design of a small building as the major term project will be undertaken. [Note: Field trip fee: $10. Offered: W] Prereq: ARCH 172 Antireq: ARCH 173/ARCH 266
