The theoretical concepts covered in the introductory course form the conceptual basis for work in Structures 2, with relevant new concepts/techniques covered. Students will explore load transfer in different structural assemblies and consider how seismic and other complex loading can impact architectural considerations. Innovative, non-normative structural systems are investigated and discussed. Design optimization approaches are introduced and explored as avenues to accomplish more optimum design conditions under increasingly strict design constraints.

It prepares students with the necessary foundational knowledge to work collaboratively with adjacent expert professionals to foster an integrative design process and places emphasis on developing critical approaches to both active and passive building systems and building enclosures. The course will deliver material through lectures, software tutorials and skill building workshops and requires the students to have a baseline of established knowledge on the subjects.

Students will develop design research based on topical interests and professional goals. This course is offered in the fall semester only and is required of all graduate students in the Master of Architecture program.
