This course is the continued development of design vocabulary and design process with emphasis on further development of architectural projects considering program, site and context reinforced by historical precedent; use of materials and structure and their impact on design. Specific emphasis will be on conceptualization and the importance of the building 'parti'; traditional model making; appropriate use of both traditional graphic representation as well as the computer as a design tool during the design process. Students will complete written research papers on design problems and historical precedent as part of the exploration process. Offered fall semester only.

This course closely examines the contributions that people of African descent have made to the development of the United States. It begins with the African origins of the Black population and traces their varied experiences through every major period in United States history from colonial times to the present. The course moves beyond politics to explore the rich cultural contributions made by African Americans in the areas of music, art, religion, and literature during such periods as the Harlem Renaissance, the Civil Rights movement, and the contemporary Hip Hop era, to include the Black Lives Matter movement. The theoretical framework is designed to teach students to appreciate the beauty, complexities, and contradictions that are inherent in the American mosaic.

Most prominent among the individuals we will study are Fredrick Douglas, Sojourner Truth, Brooker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X.
