architectural design, energy, lighting, building code are learned differently and in differentstage of the curriculum. In this paper, our objective is to combine both the architectural aspects, as well asthe building code requirements in different phases. Very few works have been developed to address theapplication of the building code during the design process. John Ruskin (2011) described process step-by-step.In this paper our objective is describe the integration of the building code into architecture design process.

also incorporated aspects offoundations, cladding, and long span and high rise structures.The primary goal of this five course series was to give these students tools that will assist them intheir careers as project leaders so they can better produce efficient integrated designs andcollaborate effectively with their structural engineering consultants and thus lead successfulprojects. The benefits of understanding structural principles apply to both ARCH and CMstudents. Architects typically take a lead role in building design and so an understanding ofstructural principles can enhance their ability to produce design concepts that are coordinatedwith an efficient, well thought out structural system. Understanding structural concepts

. Advanced courses in3D visualization are present in the curriculum across the board where students work withsoftware. In some scenarios 3D modeling is integrated with technical details to enhance buildingdesign. Continued development of visualization techniques is carried on in the design studios.Courses in digital design, graphic design, presentation techniques, and image manipulation havebecome an integral part of most curriculums. Of the programs reviewed one program had aspecific course in which students were exposed to rendering and animation software [6], [7], [8], [9].FUSE Grant“FUSE grants at WKU are designed to support undergraduate students' intellectual developmentby fostering active engagement in the areas of research, creative and

cameto Harvard University, “The Schools have been re-thinking their programs to bring mathematics,mechanics and the science of structure into sharper focus and into a clearer relationship with thedesign of space.”[10] The architecture students contributed to the American movement as theypushed back against the Beaux Arts traditions in favor of more modern approaches.[11] Theeducation that supports modern architecture elevated mathematics in the structures curriculum,but also brought forth enduring pedagogical discourse.The ACSA recognizes the disparity between the architectural design and the structural designprocesses, and the mathematical priority as the two fundamental problems with structurespedagogy. In 1976, the ACSA formed an ad hoc

experience within ourcommunities.The search for new approaches to the design studio is being seen throughout the designdisciplines; one example of an innovative educational practice is the concept of incorporating‘live projects’[6]. Experiential education puts students in the field, addressing real, complex andopen-ended projects. Fieldwork is integrated with the academic content and students have acontext in which to apply practical, theoretical, and ethical solutions to problems or projects.[4]“Live projects reject the separation between real and theoretical, practice and education, andallow the student to be creative within constraints.” [7] Sara defines ‘live projects’ as: “The live project is defined here as a type of design project that

designer to integrate the sick building syndrome in the building design: A number of rules should be developed to integrate expertise from different professional concerned with indoor air quality and sick building syndrome, using a questionnaire and face-to-face interviews. The sick building syndrome is a multidisciplinary problem since the causes of sick building syndrome are multiple, such as, contamination (inside and outside), material used to construct the building (formaldehyde, fiberglass), inadequate ventilation, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, cigarette smoking, humidity, noise and illumination, scabies, and other unknown syndrome. An interprofessional experience in different fields such as
