Prerequisites: ARC3321 with minimum grade of C; ARC3710 and ARC3653.
Applied principles of programming are explored in developing a design process by combining existing buildings with new development in the making of space and form. These issues are investigated collaboratively and individually in a project with a specific, predominant use within a clearly defined architectural context, and in connection to open urban, public space(s). Eight hours of studio per week.

Independent study, research, or other project to extend and integrate the student's knowledge, directed and approved by faculty.

ARC 4306 Community Studio
Prerequisites: Admission to the Community Studio requires a minimum grade of C in previous studio course work, and permission of the instructor.
This studio is intended to fulfill the requirements of any 4 credit-hour senior phase, or the first 6 credit-hour thesis phase studio. The Community Studio is an advocacy arm of the School of Architecture where potentials of community design projects are explored, articulated, and eventually realized with strong emphasis on the involvement of community and interdisciplinary groups. Work is individual and collaborative with focused and measurable assignments.

Introduction to principles of professional office practice, focusing on the economic and business aspects of the practice of architecture.

ARC 5328 Architectural Design 9
Prerequisites: ARC4323 with minimum grade of C; ARC4562.
This studio will revisit themes developed in previous studio work while placing emphasis on the regional urban context and the interrelationships with anthropometrics, site conditions, and integration of circulation, structural and environmental systems. These issues are resolved through the design of a building of modest complexity to allow detailed explorations in design development and materiality. Twelve hours of studio per week.
