context of disciplinary diversity has never been as ripe.Key Words: deployable, transformability, architectural curriculum, learning by making.IntroductionIn 1832, the French socio-economic theorist Prosper Enfantin lamented that architecture as atheory of construction was an incomplete art because it lacked the notion of mobility andmovement [1]. Some modern-day foldable structures respond and adapt to changing needs andconditions. This has made them multifunctional and with enhanced performance. They includeretractable roofs, movable theaters, rapidly-deployable emergency shelters and kinetic facades,among others. Much remains to be discovered and understood in this field. While the need is clear,courses specifically dedicated to transformable

/Spring) Architectural Design course, students complete two majorarchitectural design projects. Before students begin work on these two aforementioned projects,students also work on a very small lake cabin drawing, which serve as an introduction in usingthe basic tools of the Revit Software, but was not considered for this research. The textbookutilized was an SDC Publication textbook entitled Residential Design Using Autodesk Revit [1](now, 2018). The first project makes use of an SDC publications textbook [1] where studentswork on constructing a single family residence comprising of a basement, first floor, and secondfloor. During the latter part of the semester, students are to design and construct their own singlefloor dwelling for a single

collages. Several of the initial drawings are shownbelow.Figure 1: Concept generation sketches from participantsInterpreting qualitative data was somewhat effortless. Almost all participants emphasized theplanets, stars, and other celestial bodies. When the word “light” was added to the keyword“cosmic,” it was clear that the light explosion (or shining outwards) became the dominant sketchelement. Consequently, the clear image of the light explosion was selected by the author as thedominant design feature and translated into the Stellar’s final image.Figure 2: Concept generation sketches from the author (Time-space warp)Upon concluding the final concept, prototyping stage started. Since it was a linear (step-by-step)process, this paper -as well as

Thisoptimization framework provides users with maximum visual comforts in high-performancebuildings. As figure 1 presents, the proposed activities are as follows: 67 1.

Thisarrangement allows the faculty in the future to decide on if the modules remain in separate courses oras a new courses as the curriculum evolves.Determining Module Topics While the IBC has 35 chapters of very detailed content, not all are applicable to the careers thatArchitectural Engineers, Architects, and Landscape Architects may pursue. Additionally, many ofthese topics to not have a good correlation to the core of what the programs educate. Based on this, theresearchers studied the scope of the IBC and the programs for the most relevant topics to turn intomodules. The result was the selection 11 core modules that are the most fundamental to the programs.Table 1 shows the relationship between the module topics, IBC Chapter, the

programs in the United States, and 247 ABET Civil Engineeringprograms [1]. This big discrepancy between numbers of programs translates into graduationrates as well. In 2016, the number of Civil Engineering Bachelor degrees awarded was 11,464while the Architectural Engineering degrees awarded was 618, according to ASEE, a ratio ofover 18:1 [2]. Over the past decade, growth in the number of bachelor degrees awarded hasoccurred in the field of Civil Engineering while it has decreased in the field of architecturalengineering. In 2005 there were 8247 bachelor degrees awarded in civil engineering and 722awarded in architectural engineering [3]. Thus in the past decade civil engineering degrees hasincreased by 39.0% while architectural engineering

In addition, the paper provides examples of students’design proposals for the university campus demonstrating their capability to integrate activetechnical solutions and passive design strategies achieving net-zero GHG, energy, water, andwaste targets.1. IntroductionArchitecture and technology students are entering professions demanding leadership andinnovation. Professional meta-disciplinary teamwork emphasizes aggregation of disciplines’skills in a sequential and convergent collaborative process. Such meta-disciplinary approach tocollaborative teamwork, unfortunately, is not often nurtured in our institution of highereducation, including the architecture, engineering, and technology programs. The meta-disciplinary approach

universities around theworld. According to the USGBC website [1], “LEED Lab is a multidisciplinary immersioncourse that utilizes the built environment to educate and prepare students to become greenbuilding leaders and sustainability-focused citizens. In the course, students assess theperformance of existing facilities on campus and choose one building where they will facilitatethe LEED for Building Operations and Maintenance (LEED O+M) process with the goal ofcertifying the facility.” As of Fall 2016, there are two compliance paths for achieving this goal,the traditional path within the LEED v4 rating system, and the new path, Arc Platform, aperformance-based approach. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. Our LEED Labclass at Ball State
