    Another title: Suspended and Space Structures 384*, 585* Architectural Research 492, 493, 592, 593 Design Studio, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

    Purpose: To study the behaviour and analyze suspended and space structures in a space-coordinate framework. Content: Analysis of cable-suspended roof networks; comparisons of elastic theory and conventional deflection theory; study of finite difference method; approximate methods in selecting cable-suspended roof networks; analysis of total structures in three-dimensional coordinate system; space frames and roof systems; one and two-way design. Prerequisite: 4B architecture standing or equivalent 3 hours per week (Winter term) Instructor: Dutt, Schuster

    Purpgse: To allow students an opportunity for independent research study into architectural problems not offered in the regular curriculum. Content: Guided exploration of specific architectural problem area, of appropriate complexity to the particular term. Prerequisite:. Approval of Faculty Advisory Committee Equivalent of 3 hours per week (Fall and Winter terms) Instructor: By Arrangement

    +See section on Electives for explanation of FE.

    Architectural Design and Correlation Purpose: To give the student an opportunity to select the area of concentration which he wants to search and expand for developing his aptitudes, and which will through research and scholarship contribute to the base of knowledge for architecture. Content: In term 7 the student will apply himself to architectural design and correlation directed by the faculty. In term 8 a thesis or thesis project will be chosen by the student with the approval of the faculty advisor in one of the areas of concentration offered that matches his interests and aptitudes. The thesis programme will be developed and written in Term 8. All research work regarding the thesis must be completed by the end of Co-op Work Term 5t; his work during the Co-op Work Term 5 will be compatible and will be integrated with the nature of the thesis. Term 9 will be spent on developing the thesis. In Term 10 the student will be required to analyze and evaluate his thesis as to its validity and success as a solution for the established needs and constraints of the project, and present it for faculty evaluation before obtaining his Bachelor of Architecture degree. The use of the computer is encouraged. Maximum effort will be spent in the Studio where the student will be exposed to a variety of disciplines, viewpoints and

    ‘personalities in their observation of environmental aspects, structures of

    relationships and application of theories to achieve architectural design and correlation. The student shall be involved in the total process of architectural design. Five areas of concentration in Architectural Design are offered; other areas might be developed to match the student’s area of interest in consultation with his faculty advisor and within the strengths of the University.

    a) Building design, a concentration in the programming fof, the design of, and the presentation of decision-making of a complex building or building type.

    6) Urban Design, a concentration in the aspects of providing a group of buildings for a urban social group and the presentation of its provision for decision-making. -

    ¢) Parametric Design, a concentration in the scientific approach to architectural design, incorporating systems and computer aided analysis and design; design parameters, their definitions and evaluation; data

    _ Storage, retrieval and methods of manipulation for architectural design.

    Develop a design of an aspect of building, urban or structural design and its presentation for decision-making.

    d) Architectural Structural Design, a concentration in the design of structures for buildings meeting current and emerging needs, the development of an aspect of architectural design and its presentation for decision-making.

    e) Building Technology, a concentration in the new fabrication techniques, structural possibilities, materials in modern industry for the design of new industrialized application for buildings or building components; the development of an aspect of building technology and its presentation for decision-making.

    21 hours per week in Terms 7 and 8; 32 hours per week in terms 9 and 10.

    Students are permitted to study courses given by the University at large which are in the area of the student’s individual interest. This will hopefully provide better orientation and more interdisciplinary communication relevant to the student’s academic pursuits.

    Electives are divided into the following two categories.

    Theme Elective (B.E.S. Degree) Courses within the Faculty of Environmental Studies which deal with ecological issues.

    Theme Elective (B.Arch Degree) Any course within the School of Urban and Regional Planning.

    Each student pursuing a B.E.S. degree must have accumulated one and a half course credits in the theme area of Ecology by or before his 6th academic term.

    Each student pursuing a B.Arch. degree must have one half course credit in the theme area of Planning by or before his 10th academic term.

    Free Elective Courses selected by the student without restrictions as long as the course is approved by Senate. Courses in this category are termed free electives (FE). Departmental approval is suggested.
