![]() Other areas of study will include the development of architectural drawing, and the way in which designs often evolved through committees, or ongoing consultations among patrons, designers, administrators, and scholars. Special emphasis will be given to interior additions and renovations and other interventions. Areas of study will include an examination of interior architecture related issues that will be studied in the context of their social, political, technological, and economic circumstances, as they pertain to the design culture of the period. This course will examine personalities working in Europe and in North America as well as non-western regions in the period 1400 to 2009. The course structure includes a midterm examination, case studies, an individual research paper and a final design project. Students should develop familiarity with energy and environmental impacts associated with the built environment and the rationale for responsible design, energy modeling and calculations, passive and active lighting systems (including daylighting techniques and fenestration) and the thermal performance of buildings including the thermal envelope and passive and active heating systems. ![]() Course objectives include an understanding of energy and environmental context, the ability to develop schematic designs for energy efficient interventions in an existing building, the ability to perform basic analyses of the energy and economic performance of building measures and to apply course material to case studies of completed buildings. These fundamental concepts are applied in real-world projects of reuse to reduce negative impacts to the built environment. This course approaches the subject of adaptive reuse through environmental issues, economic analysis and design. ![]()
