might learn to move up and down the taxonomy fromtheir Architectural peers. Page 14.1126.2Bloom’s TaxonomyBloom’s Taxonomy is the seminal work of the 1950’s educational committee chaired byBenjamin Bloom. The committee established a set of taxonomies in three domains of learning:cognitive, affective and psychomotor. The cognitive domain taxonomy is widely accepted inmany fields and has been identified as, “arguably one of the most influential educationmonographs of the past half century 1.” The taxonomies are a language that is proposed todescribe the progressive development of an individual in each domain and are defined asfollows2
strengthen project- based instruction, optimize student learning experiences while fully engaging the intellectual resources available on university campuses. 4. A course on deployable structures would be best realized when taught as a design studio or as a complementary course parallel to a studio. The possibilities of creating new and efficient deployable systems are endless when taught in the context of disciplinary diversity.

Architectural historians and the generalpublic, on the other hand, are considered better long term arbiters. Many of the buildings thatreceive architectural awards and recognition by professional peers sometimes fade, or in extremecases are considered failures, by architectural historians and the general public.

and best use” (p 6)8.Container Architecture7 by Jure Kotnik is one of the frequently cited sources of information inthis field. Originating from the 1950’s, today’s shipping container began its adventure intoarchitecture through exploratory makeshift sheds or shops while others were created as moresculptural, statement pieces. The surplus of these containers pushed its design and repurposingevolution to move quickly. Sending an empty container back to be reused costs $900 (p 16)7,therefore it is often more economical for companies to purchase a new one. The growingknowledge of this abundance problem has helped shape the re-use of these structures intobuildings. By 1990, for example, James Palibroda submitted a patent application with the
there and our job is to identify the problem (s) and come up with theappropriate solution (s). To do so, we need to use tools and equipment to measure and identifythe parameters that help us to identify the problem (s). This kind of work needs expertise andunderstanding of how to measure and identify the fundamental parameters, such as temperature,pressure, concentration, illuminance, and airflow.Design and troubleshooting are considered as two subcategories of problem solving (McCade).Problem solving has been defined in many ways. Ritz describes a problem as a need which mustbe met (Ritz, et al. 1986a). The main difference between the two subcategories is the fact that thedesign is a “proactive” problem solving (Baker & Dugger, 1986) and
: The most common system used in the late 1800s and early 1900s consisted of a roof tank(s) combined with constant-speed pumps that operated by a level switch in the tank. When the level in the tank would approach a pre-determined height, the pumps would either turn on to fill the tank(s) or turn off when the tank is full (Larson, 2007). Water storage was also required for fire protection, and tanks provided for both needs. The water is distributed using gravity downfeed arrangement. b. Multiple zones: High zone tank and low zone tank: If multiple zones were required, multiple tanks were used. An air gap creates a pressure break between the upper and lower zones. The tanks must be
. William Braham5 places the establishment of discrete courses in structures forarchitecture students separate from studio as taking place in the 1940’s and 50’s. This impliesthat educators today were educated themselves in a curriculum that sequestered structures awayfrom the design studio.In the defense of the shift in design thinking, it is true that with an understanding of structuralconcepts, an architect may design a space without ever calculating a size. But, in reality, a spacedesigned without the ability to at least estimate component size will, in all likelihood, become avery different space once an engineer has finished the working drawings. Control of design isessential to the architect as is the ability to communicate with engineers

However, as theEPA was soon to realize, the environmental damage of nearly two centuries would be hard tomanage.The American environmentalism movement has been plagued by ebbs and flows, withmomentum for change predominately in the 60-70’s and 90-00’s9,10.

These four perceptionskills become the thread that goes over the lecture, demonstration and drawing assignments.Purpose of Study It is agreed by educators and practitioners that freehand sketching is a critical skill fordesigners. It is required by Council of Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) to incorporateillustrative sketching in interior design curriculum (CIDA Standards). Students need to be able tocommunicate their design ideas through graphic communication skills.

Most faculty feelthat their definition of AED is the same as their school’s, but many express uncertainty about theexistence of a national definition. Similarly there is considerable agreement that more than onediscipline (Architecture, Structure, HVAC, Electrical, Construction Management) is required toconstitute AED, but there is marked disagreement about what specific ones should be included,with opinions ranging from two to all five.IntroductionDesign is what most of our graduates do Some of course will work constructing other s designs funding and approving designs or perhaps analyzing the successes and failures of the design
the use of this new technological process for economic reasons?This paper will apply a series of existing theories developed from the post World War II periodto the pre CAD period of the 1980’s to explain technological changes and apply them tocomputer automation design process of today. These ideas will help to develop a theory tounderstand this new design process. It will outline characteristics of this new design process andpresent a framework to examine the effects in a Construction Design course. Student surveysand supporting data are presented. Recommendations for new assessment are offered. Thelarger goal of this paper is to obtain feedback for a more serious journal length article.Theoretical BackgroundThere is a substantial body of

The program should be built around tenured/tenure track faculty, with Professors of Practice used to meet the needs for relevant faculty design experience. The program should begin offering graduate degree(s) within 2-3 years after starting.As a result, the following next steps were approved for the program’s implementation: Create a formal Industry Advisory Panel (IAP) with a sub-group in each of the three track option areas: Mechanical/HVAC, Electrical/Lighting, and Structures.

interface was based on atrace-paper overlay mechanism in which designers could use drawing tools that created line-work modeled after traditional markers and pencils. It could also merge sketches into 3-Dmodels, thus bridging the gap between 2-D and 3-D graphics. However, its limited adoption hasbeen attributed to the lack of wide-scale adoption of pen-based input devices [10]. Many othersketch based 2-D to 3-D have been proposed or developed by researchers over the past decades.These include seminal applications such as Sutherlands SketchPad, a constraint-based drawingenvironment developed in the 1960’s, and STRAIT, a program developed in the 1970’s thatinterpreted sketch geometry as straight lines [11].
