Paper ID #7804Hidden in Plain Sight: Campus Scavenger Hunt to Teach Structures andTechnology to Architects.Dr. Sinead MacNamara, Syracuse UniversityMr. Robert A. Svetz, Syracuse University Robert Svetz is an assistant professor at the School of Architecture at Syracuse University. He lectures on building envelope and interior environment and service systems technology, coordinates the third year B.Arch. fall design studios, and occasionally leads a fall seminar on serial repetition and drive. His research writing examines parallax relationships between technical building codes and design practices and more traditional
(UEH) and exchangenotes with the future Haitian engineers and architects in regard to building design andconstruction curriculum. The group was also able to visit a riverbed where sand and gravel werebeing harvested for the ongoing reconstruction and also witnessed firsthand the roadsideproduction of concrete masonry units (CMU). It was not all disappointments as the studentsspent the last day of their visit at the beautiful Haitian beaches.

learning objective is: 2. Function effectively on an interdisciplinary team: a. Communicate effectively utilizing verbal, written and graphical methods b. Integrate standards of professional and ethical responsibility into the working classroom relationships and the development of the integrated design. c. Apply the basic project management skills of team dynamics and decision-making strategies. d. Demonstrate the behavior of a functioning team in terms of respecting teammates, meeting internal deadlines, reacting well to change, following a coordinated plan, and contributing outside one’s own
) Page 23.1138.3workshop was held for two days in Kenscoff’s mayor’s office. The participants includedarchitects, civil engineers, contractors (bos masons) and some home owners. The workshopcovered one day of classroom activities that included theory on earthquakes and behavior ofconcrete and masonry buildings during earthquakes, quality of buildings materials and safebuilding practice for un-engineered two-story family dwellings. The participants were also takenaround the neighborhood for explanation as to why the buildings failed as shown in Figure 1.Figure 1: Pilot Workshop (a) Classroom Setting and (b) Site VisitThe second day of the workshop was a hands-on concrete and masonry home repair techniques.Figure 2 shows hands-on activities.Figure
construction. Thedesign of the building system was accomplished by requiring the students to have takenstructures design courses in steel, reinforced concrete and timber/masonry (ARCE 372, 444 and Page 23.1092.4451 respectively) besides a foundation design course. Examples of types of buildings addressedin this course are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3.Figure 1: Exterior View of (a) and (b) Warehouse Buildings and (c) School GymnasiumFigure 2: Interior View of (a) Glue-Laminated Beams and Steel, (b) Wood, Steel Trusses,Steel Girder and (c) Wood and Wood Truss ConstructionFigure 3: Interior View of (a) Steel Metal Deck, Steel Beams, Masonry Walls and
