Interior architecture

Interior Architecture is the design of a space which has been created by structural boundaries and
the human interaction within these boundaries. It can also be the initial design and plan for use, then
later redesign to accommodate a changed purpose, or a significantly revised design for adaptive
reuse of the building shell.[2] The latter is often part of sustainable architecture practices, conserving
resources through "recycling" a structure by adaptive redesign. Generally referred to as the spatial
art of environmental design, form and practice, interior architecture is the process through which the
interiors of buildings are designed, concerned with all aspects of the human uses of structural
spaces. Put simply, Interior Architecture is the design of an interior in architectural terms.
Interior Architecture may refer to:

The art and science of designing and erecting building interiors as a licensed architect and
related physical features.

The practice of an interior architect, where architecture means to offer or render professional
services in connection with the design and construction of a building's interior that has as its
principal purpose human occupancy or use.[3]

A general term to describe building interiors and related physical features.

A style or method of design and construction of building interiors and related physical
features.

Site planning in landscape architecture and architecture refers to the organizational stage of the
landscape design process. It involves the organization of land use zoning, access, circulation,
privacy, security, shelter, land drainage, and other factors. This is done by arranging the
compositional elements of landform, planting, water, buildings and paving in site plans.

Course Syllabus Spring 2014 UP426: Urban Design and Planning Instructors: Devin Lavigne
(dlavigne@illinois.edu) Kai Tarum (tarum@illinois.edu) Course Description What many
practicing planners do not often realize is that through their daily duties they are shaping the
urban form of their cities, and in essence are more active urban designers than any other
profession. Urban design is about creating neighborhoods, districts, cities and regions, extending
far beyond yet being inclusive of architecture, streetscape, aesthetics and the design of a plaza or
building. It is about arranging land uses, transportation networks and amenities in order to create
a fabric that can foster healthy, functional and vibrant communities. This course will explore the
fundamentals of urban design as they relate to all scales of the built environment - including
regions, cities, districts, neighborhoods, blocks and parcels - and will reinforce the basics of
sound community planning. Focusing on the neighborhood and public space as the quintessential
building blocks, we will explore how these cities and areas have changed, and how the advent of
the automobile, rapid suburbanization, and past planning practices have created challenges for
todays planners and urban designers. We will learn how to analyze and measure design, how to
apply its principles, how to understand the design process of creating new areas and the
fundamentals of retrofitting existing ones, and why connectivity and walkability are critical to
healthy communities. We will answer the question of how a planner can impact the design of a
city positively without designing buildings, and what tools are available to implement urban
design plans and policies. Lastly, through three student projects, we will introduce planning
studio techniques and technologies and build presentation skills. Objectives To introduce
students to the application of basic urban design; to gain practice in the basic skills of urban
design analysis; to gain an appreciation of both the process and product of the design of the built
environment; to emphasize the need for planners to learn design, and designers to learn planning;
to provide practice in visual, graphic and spatial literacy. Method This course emphasizes an
appreciation of experiential learning and the interdependence of procedural and substantive
knowledge. Fundamental for experiential learning is the studio method, which is typical of all
design schools, and often used in workshop courses elsewhere. The studio method includes
lectures, instructional sessions and discussion, but the emphasis is on student work. Learning by
doing through exercises and projects is the focus that is supported by collaboration with

colleagues in a cooperative, interactive milieu. Lectures and discussions, enhanced by the

extensive real-world professional experiences of the instructors, will be supplemented by
multiple exercises and group projects that will provide students with practical experience for a
fundamental understanding of urban design.

4.0. Community Architecture In Perspective Community Architecture 4 can be simply defined

as, architecture carried out with the active participation of the end-users (Wates, Handbook
184). This alternative approach to the conventional architectural practice of non-participation of
users can be traced back to the 1950s self-help community initiatives in the developing countries.
In these self-help projects, the professionals joined hands with the people to improve their
environment (Wates, Community 164). Community Architecture since then has developed in
different forms around the world with a common vision, that is, public participation in decisions
affecting their environments and hence their lives. The literature in community participation
mostly written in the 1960s and 1970s as discussed in the previous chapter played a vital role in
the development of the concept of Community Architecture. This chapter looks at the historic
moments in the practical development of Community Architecture in the developed world with
examples from the United Kingdom and the United States. The practical evolution of community
participation in architecture is equally important to analyze for a comprehensive understanding
of the phenomenon in addition to studying its theoretical perspective. This chapter traces the
evolution of community participation in architecture, as it has taken various forms in the
developed world over the years. Social Architecture and Advocacy Planning in the United States

This is a course on design of large complex structures. The main focus is on ship hull structures, but the
basic principles and methods are valid for arbitrary structures such as bridges and buildings. The largest

ships are well over 300 metres long, and are thereby the largest mobile structures that we humans have
ever created. Whether you are facing the task of designing a large tanker, a canoe, a sailingboat or a
ferry, the fact that the ship is moving puts specific demands on structure optimization. At the same time
ship structures are subjected to large and complex loads from the wind generated sea. The objective of
this course is that you after finishing should be able to handles these challenges in design of ships and
other complex structures.

Research Design: Thesis, Master Design Study, and Dissertation Prepa

Spring 2014
The purpose of this course is to prepare advanced students for independent study in the
following semester(s). Although most students are able to imagine compelling questions for
research, many find it difficult to refine the research question to manageable scope, identify the
variables at play, design a research program, order the data collection process, and interpret or
order the sometimes conflicting data found.
Historically design has been understood as a prescriptive activity, meaning that designers wish
to change the world. Likewise, research has been understood as an analytic activity, meaning
that scholars interpret the world but never seek to change it. In reality, however, designers are
always engaged in analysis and scholars have intentions for change. This course will question
the distinction between critical design and research and pose alternative methods of reasoning
that will be helpful for scholars, designers and those in-between.

MARC 591, 592: Research. 1-12 hours.

Many academic departments offer special research or investigative projects

Abstract
The 21st Century Practitioner will be Transformed
by Process not Software. As the boundaries of
architecture change there is a feeling that we are
going to fall off the edge. The future of architecture
and quality design will matter only if we can make
a process change and realize that the horizon has
no edge. Technological change will support the
process change and allow architecture to be tightly
integrated with all aspects of the life cycle of
projects and to improve the value provided to
clients.
This article will not focus on specific software. As
architects we must drive the definition of how
software will support us. Imagine if authors and
screenwriters depended on Microsoft for their
creativity. Would they wait for the next version of
Microsoft Word to be able to put out a new novel?
Do they look to Bill Gates for creativity beyond that
of creating the software that they use to write that
screenplay?

Site plan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For Archaeological site plan, see Archaeological plan

Example of a Site plan.

A site plan is an architectural plan, landscape architecture document, and a

detailed engineering drawing of proposed improvements to a given lot. A site plan usually shows
a building footprint, travelways, parking, drainage facilities, sanitary sewer lines, water lines,
trails, lighting, and landscaping and garden elements.[1]
Such a plan of a site is a "graphic representation of the arrangement of buildings, parking,
drives, landscaping and any other structure that is part of a development project".[2]
A site plan is a "set of construction drawings that a builder or contractor uses to make
improvements to a property. Counties can use the site plan to verify that development codes are
being met and as a historical resource. Site plans are often prepared by a design consultant who
must be either a licensed engineer, architect, landscape architect or land surveyor". [3]

Urban planning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Urban planning designs settlements, from the smallest towns to the largest cities. Shown here is Hong
Kong from Western District overlookingKowloon, across Victoria Harbour.

Urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the development and use of
land, protection and use of the environment, public welfare, and the design of the urban
environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out ofurban areas, such
as transportation, communications, and distribution networks.[1] Urban planning is also referred to

as urban and regional planning, regional planning, town planning, city planning, rural
planning or some combination in various areas worldwide. It takes many forms and it can share
perspectives and practices with urban design.[2]

There are lots of opportunities in the housing industry. As well as housing management
jobs, you can also work in finance, development, repairs and maintenance, customer
services and work your way up to senior management.
Many people look to a career in social housing as they may have experienced homelessness themselves or
live in social housing and want to know more about how it works and how people access housing provision.
To work in the industry, we suggest you start with at least a level 2 housing qualification which is an introduction
to social housing and provision. Hackney Community College is a really good place to study as being based in
Hackney, its ideally located. There is lots of social housing in the area, so we take the opportunity to visit
estates throughout the courses and get a real sense of how what we study fits in with the real world.
Many students get valuable work experience and placements with local housing providers and tenant
management organisations. This experience looks great on your CV and really adds meaning to the work that
youll learn in the classroom.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This unique cross-disciplinary and industry-oriented program is open to graduates who are
passionate about the social and cultural dimensions of the built environment in the 21st
century.
Urban and cultural heritage is central to global cities today. The interpretation, management and
conservation of urban and cultural heritage is increasingly a matter of urgency and significance
for global cities and communities. Challenges for heritage professionals include the pressures of
rapid urbanization; issues of economic, social and environmental sustainability; and social and
cultural change.
Taking an international perspective on the heritage of buildings, cities and landscapes, the
program will explore key heritage issues from around the world, with a particular focus on
Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. It introduces students to the integrated skills and

knowledge required to contribute to the burgeoning fields of urban and cultural heritage, and is
suitable for students from a range of academic backgrounds and cultures.

Ecclesiastical architecture
Small enough to fit in a pocket yet serious enough to provide real answers, this primer is a musthave for architecture and history buffs, tourists, and churchgoers interested in decoding the styles
and symbols of religious buildings. Every building contains clues embedded in its design that identify
not only its architectural style but also who designed it, what kind of congregation it was built for, and
why. This practical yet charming handbook is the key to decoding the style, history, evolution, and
social significance of religious buildings. Not strictly limited to churches, it also covers abbeys,
chapels, and monasteries, among other structures. Organized according to architectural element
(windows, domes, arches, etc.), each element is presented in chronological order. Additional
chapters explore the

The best definition of architecture that has ever been given is likewise the
shortest. It is "the art of building" (Viollet-le-Duc, Dict., I, 116). The art, be
it observed, and not merely the act of building. And when we say the art of
building, the term must be held to imply the giving to buildings of whatever
beauty is consistent with their primary purpose and with the resources that
may be available. As a recent writer has said: "It can hardly be held that
there is one art of making things well, and another of making them
badly. . . Good architecture is . . . the art of building beautifully and
expressively; and bad architecture is the reverse. But architecture is the art
of buildingin general" (Bond, Gothic architecture in England, 1). Since,
however, the word building is apt to suggest, primarily, "the actual putting
together of . . . materials by manual labour and machinery", it may be
desirable to amend or restrict the definition given above by saying that
architecture is the art of planning, designing, and drawing buildings, and of
directing the execution thereof (Bond, op. cit., 2). And in this art as in all
others, including that of life itself, the fundamental principle should always
be that of subordinating means to ends and secondary to primary ends.

Where this principle is or has been abandoned or lost sight of, the result may
indeed be, or may have been, a building which pleases the eye, but it must
needs be also one which offends that sense of the fitness of thing 3, which is
the criterion of the highest kind of beauty. Now a church is, primarily, a
building intended for the purpose of public worship; and in all
sound ecclesiastical architecture this purpose should be altogether
paramount. To build a church for the admiration of "the man the street",
who sees it from outside, or of the tourist who pays it a passing visit, or of
the artist, or of anyone else whatsoever except that of the faithfulwho use
the church for prayer, the hearing of Mass, and the reception of
the sacraments, is to commit a solecism in the liturgy of all the material
arts. Even the needs of the liturgy itself are in a sense subsidiary to the
needs of the faithful. Sacramenta propter homines is an old and sound
saying. But, on the other hand, among the needs of the faithful must be
reckoned, under normal circumstances, the adequate carrying out of
the liturgy. It is, of course, perfectly true to say that a church is not only a
building, in which we worship God but also itself the expression of an act of
worshipful homage. This, however, it ceases to be, at least in the highest
degree, unless, as has been said, the sthetic qualities of the building have
been entirely subordinated to its primary purpose. It only needs a little
reflection to see that these preliminary remarks have a very practical
bearing on modernchurch-building. There is a danger lest we should be
dominated by technical terms and conventional opinions about the merits of
this or that style of architecture, derived from times and circumstances that
have passed away lest we should be led by sentiment or fashion, or mere
lack of originality, to copy from the buildings of a bygone age without
stopping to consider whether or how far the needs of our own day are those
of the days when those buildings were raised. And the chief use of the study
of the history of ecclesiastical architecture is not that it directs attention to a
number of buildings more or less beautiful in themselves, but that it cannot
fail to bring home to us that all true architectural development was inspired,
primarily, by the desire to find a solution of some problem of practical utility.

Church architecture refers to the architecture of buildings of Christian churches. It has evolved
over the two thousand years of the Christian religion, partly by innovation and partly by imitating
other architectural styles as well as responding to changing beliefs, practices and local traditions.
From the birth of Christianity to the present, the most significant objects of transformation for
Christian architecture and design were the great churches of Byzantium, the Romanesque abbey
churches, Gothic cathedrals andRenaissance basilicas with its emphasis on harmony. These large,
often ornate and architecturally prestigious buildings were dominant features of the towns and
countryside in which they stood. But far more numerous were the parish churches scattered across
the Christian world, the focus of Christian devotion in every town and village. While a few are
counted as sublime works of architecture to equal the great cathedrals, the majority developed along
simpler lines, showing great regional diversity and often demonstrating local vernacular technology
and decoration.

ARCH 121 Visual Communications I (2) Development of two and three-dimensional graphic communications
skills and techniques required for the practice of architecture.
ARCH 121 Visual Communications I (2)
The course is designed to introduce two and three-dimensional graphic communication skills. Assignments
will develop the student's understanding and skills associated with the hand-drawing techniques used in the
practice of architecture. Exercises provide exposure to the variety of representational techniques available to
architects for the visual communication of design ideas and design documentation.
Visual Communications I is organized as an interactive studio environment which combines lectures and
demonstrations with individual instruction. The basic concepts and theories of documenting, representing,
and presenting architecture will be introduced through a series of lectures, seminars, and examples. In
studio, skills will be developed through project workshops. Instruction includes working sessions, individual
desk reviews, technique demonstrations and group discussions.
Students will learn the fundamentals of architectural drawing by hand, introductory-level descriptive
geometry, orthographic projection, paraline and perspective drawings. These skills and principles are
imparted primarily through studio-based assigned projects.

HAA 1160 Roman Architecture

3 credits

offered every spring semester

The course will examine the development of Roman architecture from its origins in
Etruria and Central Italy to the High Empire (ca. 150 AD). Special attention will be
given to 1) the relationship of architectural forms, types and functions to changes in
Roman politics and society, 2) the significance of materials and outside influences for
the development of local Italian traditions and forms, and 3) the problems of
interpreting the development of an ancient building tradition, when the monuments
themselves are so fragmentarily preserved.
