Secondly, London’s status as a major economic center, its reputation for culturaldiversity, the richness of its historic architectural works, and the large numbers of recently builtand in many cases highly acclaimed architectural projects, were among other factors thatinfluenced the selection. These factors were important considerations in meeting courseobjectives beyond those related to the cooperative education requirement.Course Structure:As previously noted, while a primary objective of the course was to provide a curricular parallelto the college cooperative education requirement, other activities

The innovative teaching methods for thiscourse are facilitated by interactive visual images through PowerPoint presentations. Classactivities include non-traditional class activities, such as dialogue discussion group, groupactivities, presentations and field trips.

and theevolution, range, and appropriate application of contemporary structural systems.”[8] Theintegrated architectural solutions realm (comprehensive design) implies a closer engagementbetween technology and the design studio through the new integrative design criterion that reads,“Ability to produce an architectural solution that demonstrates the ability to make designdecisions about a single project while demonstrating broad integration and consideration ofenvironmental stewardship, technical documentation, accessibility, site conditions, life safety,environmental systems, structural systems, and building envelope systems and assemblies.”[8]Since NAAB does not mandate a specific pedagogy or number of credit hours, the structuralsystems

Building Information Modeling (BIM), utilizes a model-centricapproach where the computer model functions as a central graphical and informationinterdisciplinary repository which, when optimized, facilitates design collaboration andcoordination among the project designers, clients, and construction teams. Additionally, theparametric and object-oriented modeling technologies underlying BIM applications alsofacilitate digital fabrication of both prototypes and manufactured components. It has beenproposed that building information modeling delivers technology that actually meets theexpectations of the profession that have previously gone un-fulfilled, and that BIM can “finallyharness the power

As such, designthinking can be scrutinized and validated with more objective criteria. With the introduction ofcomputational tools, we create an opportunity for individuals with less experience to navigateintuitively through design problems with more conidence. Technology, in this case, enables thedemocratization of specialized and complex knowledge by bringing computationally intensivetasks into a visually accessible working interface. While this might create a false conidence insome individuals, leading to design errors, the ‘democratic’ quality of digital simulation

Since the students did not model thenon-structural system or the gravity-only framing, the predicted period is expected to be slightlyhigher than the measured period. In fact the project structural engineers predicted a period of0.5s. When queried, the students attributed the improvement in their results to two
