Course description: Through this course, we will develop an understanding of best construction practices, high performance detailing, and energy analysis fundamental to the realization of modern architectural projects. Through a series of case studies, 2D and 3D drafting exercises, and energy modeling exercises, students develop knowledge of architectural detailing, specifications, and the art of assembling documents and documentation necessary for a comprehensive construction document set. We’ll test these principles in context of a midrise, multifamily Podium building, and examine both wood and steel structural systems.
