    Introduction To Urban Design And Development
    ( 2016)
    Dennis Frenchman, Colleen Xi Qiu
    This course examines both the structure of cities and the ways they can be changed. It introduces graduate students to theories about how cities are formed, and the practice of urban design and development, using U.S. and international examples. The course is organized into two parts: Part 1 analyzes the forces which act to shape and to change cities; Part 2 surveys key models of physical form and social intervention that have been deployed to resolve competing forces acting on the city. This course includes models of urban analysis, contemporary theories of urban design, and implementation strategies. Lectures in this course are supplemented by discussion periods, student work, and field trips

    Introduction to Architecture and Environmental Design
    ( 2014)
    Lorena Bello Gomez
    This course provides a foundation to the design of the environment from the scale of the object, to the building to the larger territory. The design disciplines of architecture as well as urbanism and landscape are examined in context of the larger influence of the arts and sciences. Students are expected to develop skills in thinking and analysis, spatial representation, and design methodologies. Through lectures and design exercises, students are provided an opportunity to establish a reference for understanding the discipline of architecture and environmental design, and are given an introduction to design fundamentals and the design process.

    Introduction To The History And Theory Of Architecture
    ( 2012)
    Mark Jarzombek
    This course is a global-oriented survey of the history of architecture, from the prehistoric to the sixteenth century.
