For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmIn this course we examine the relationship between public policy and urban design through readings, discussions, presentations, and papers. We also analyze the ways in which policies shape cities, and investigate how governments implement urban design. Students gain a critical understanding of both the complex system of governance within which urban design occurs and the effective tools available for creative intervention.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-337JSpring-2009/CourseHome/index.htmInam, Aseem2009-09-29T02:02:46-04:0011.337J4.247Jen-USArchitectureUrban Education and Leadershipgarden cityneighborhood unitnew urbanismbest practicesneighborhood designtoolkits for urban designcity designpolitical culturecommunity groupsprivate developerstools of governmenturban design policygovernmentdesign policyUrban Studies and PlanningMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course will study the question of Global Architecture from the point of view of producing a set of lectures on that subject. The course will be run in the form of a writing seminar, except that students will be asked to prepare for the final class an hour-long lecture for an undergraduate survey course. During the semester, students will study the debates about where to locate "the global" and do some comparative analysis of various textbooks. The topic of the final lecture will be worked on during the semester. For that lecture, students will be asked to identify the themes of the survey course, and hand in the bibliography and reading list for their lecture.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-696Spring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmJarzombek, Mark2009-09-29T02:02:15-04:004.696en-USArchitectureArchitectural History and Criticism, Generalhow societies choose to fail or succeedcollapsejared diamondsalt a world historymark kurlanskyethnocentrismeurocentrismart historycomparative globalityarchitectural historyglobal perspectiveresearching historycomparative analysisthe globalsurvey courseglobal architecturesMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course will guide graduate students through the process of using rapid prototyping and CAD/CAM devices in a studio environment. The class has a theoretical focus on machine use within the process of design. Each student is expected to have completed one graduate level of design computing with a full understanding of solid modeling in CAD. Students are also expected to have completed at least one graduate design studio.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-510Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmSass, Lawrence2009-06-15T03:18:34-04:004.510en-USArchitectureStructural Engineeringboston water taxiprototypingconstruction grammarsgenerative fabricationcnc manufacturingwaterjet cuttingprintingmodelingdraftingfabricationdesign geometryassemblydigital manufacturingcamcaddesigndigital fabricationMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course will introduce students to architectural design and computation through the use of computer modeling, rendering and digital fabrication. The course focuses on teaching architectural design with CAD drawing, 3-D modeling, rendering and rapid prototyping. Students will be required to build computer models that will lead to a full package of architectural explorations with computers. Each semester we will explore the design process of a particular building type and building material. The course also investigates a few design processes of selected architects. The course is critical of design principles and building production methods. Student assignments are graded based on the quality of design, representation and constructability. Great design input is always encouraged.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-500Fall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmSass, Lawrence2009-06-15T03:18:01-04:004.500en-USArchitectureComputer Graphicsplaceexploration of spacedigital fabricationrenderingcomputer modelingarchitectural design and computationMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
