Open to graduates and undergraduate architecture students.
Course is limited to students who have taken ARC332 or to those who have taken ART326 with instructor permission.

True Architecture transcends different cultures, civilizations and time. Architecture is practical in a global community and in a pluralistic society. In this course, students are challenged to be aware of the images, patterns, and aesthetics that impact this pluralistic society, and to design responsibly. Diverse non-western communities often approach built form in unique and meaningful ways that reflect their culture, environmental and historical origins. Unfortunately, these ways are not always understood and therefore not represented in the subsequent Architecture produced. This course is intended to encourage students to be aware and sensitive to the diverse issues and patterns that generate the imagery of these built forms and what the implication can be in creating responsive Architecture. This course is an architectural exploration of the ethnicity and the cultural significance of the uniqueness of three contemporary Global Communities and Civilizations. The three cultures investigated are: the African community: the Asian community; and the Native American Community e Ar
May be taken as ARC429 for graduate credit.
Study of primary works of architectural theory from antiquity to the modern period, considering how each reflects its writer's culture and personal values, and informs his/her architectural design, and broader contemporary practice. Major thinkers (Vituvius, Palladio, Laugier, Ruskin, Corbusier, etc.) and themes (the classical tradition, human analogy, materialism, morality, historicism) will knit together the chronological study. Historical values will be considered within a contemporary Christian world view.
Intended for fourth year architecture majors and master's students. May be taken as ARC632 for graduate credit.
This course, through a detailed study of organizing concepts expressed in historical examples, exposes students to an analytical approach to understanding the use of precedents for design. The course investigates the ways that precedents are applicable, both conceptually and concretely. Students will study a range of examples in detail, drawing the buildings to understand the diagrammatic organization. Students will also study theoretical discussions on the nature of precedents and approaches to the use of the past.

Building on architectural history courses, undergraduate TAU studios, and particularly ARC332, this course introduces students to disciplinary research realms that can contribute to urban planning and civic architecture. There will be a reading review of contemporary related practice. Course focuses on projects enabling the student to practice what has been learned in reading. Fieldtrips will be taken to study Chicago's urbanism. In some situations, it may be possible to fashion projects that are related to TAU studio projects or thesis research. When a public design charrette is an available opportunity, then most of all research and practice projects will be geared toward the charrette work and presentation. Students in this class meet every other Thursday in a seminar meeting to discuss week's readings and to present projects. On other Thursdays, these students will meet with the Arc332 undergraduates to assist them in their projects and to consult with students in undergraduate studios, especially but not limited to those in the TAU studios.
May be taken as ARC634 for graduate credit.

Acquire an overview of critical literary theory and its antecedents (Saussure, Peirce, Barthes, Etc.). Grasp an overview and read representative examples in French phenomenology. Read representative examples in Heidegger, Gadamer (and Habermas), and Arendt. Acquire an overview and read representative examples of contemporary architectural theory; Christopher Alexander, PeterEisenman (and Derrida), Leon Krier, Colin Rowe, Joseph Rykwert, and David Watkin. Read contemporary Christian intellectuals whose reflections may apply to theorizing architecture (e.g., Jeremy Begbie, Albert Borgmann, Charles Taylor, and Margaret Visser). Students will be exposed to a range of theoretical applications and problems including social construction, commodification, technology, sustainability, etc. It is hoped that the course will nurture architecture and philosophy projects of many kinds.

Humanity has chosen to worship the Triune God communally through the design and use of particular built environments. This class is designed to provoke critical reflection on how these worship spaces for worship have helped to articulate and shape people's understanding and experience of God. We will examine many different architectural expressions of worship space through time with an eye toward discerning how church buildings of the past may provide insight for church designs in the present and future.
