# Contemporary Design Approaches

## ARCH-4150

This course builds upon the historical and theoretical discourse established in the HTC sequence and challenges students to position themselves critically within contemporary design practice. Central to this course is the history and theory of architecture and urban form, and the ability to identify the influences of diverse social, cultural, economic, and political forces that impact the design of the built environment. The course examines how contemporary urban and architectural design practices engage cultural diversity, design justice, environmental justice, intersectionality, and social equity. Students will be able to identify contemporary theories and tools that address climate change through ecological design, and social responsibility. The course will also identify theories and practices engaged in the integration of information, data, digital networks, and artificial intelligence in the creation of architectural and urban form.
