Course Description:This is a study of the more advanced aspects of building construction, dealing with the intrinsic connection between conceptual design and technological aspects of a building’s structural materiality: reinforced concrete, precast and prestressed concrete, steel framing systems; building envelope: building science, curtain walls, window walls, glazing and roofing systems; fire protective design and the evolution of an industrialized method of designing and assembling buildings. Students will The term’s
knowledge will focus on a major design project that requires the students
to design and detail a steel structure. This term’s project will
use the Steel Structures Education Foundation Competition, "LINKAGE". link. The quizzes are open notebook. You may hand write notes into your sketchbook. Teaching Assistant: Amanda Parkinson Log-in to LEARN: here |

Quiz #1: Steel 5% Please note that Quizzes will be open notebook and normally given at the beginning of class. If you are late for class, you will suffer less time for your Quiz as it will need to be submitted with those of the rest of the class. Be sure to read Allen's chapter on Steel that was assigned from Arch 172. I would also suggest looking back at your notes from that class. The presentation is still posted on the course page from last term. |

GLASS, GLAZING, WINDOWS AND CURTAIN WALL ADDITIONAL READING: Window selection tool (scroll to the bottom for some Canadian cities): http://www.efficientwindows.org/selection.cfm You need to figure out how to log into Building Green Suite. This is an amazing resource that we subscribe to and has valuable information for 125, 173, 226 and other courses. We have a subscription to this through our library. Just go the the Research Databases page http://journal-indexes.uwaterloo.ca/ and click on the letter B or look under "Architecture" and choose Building Green Suite. Remember to login to the library site https://login.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca/login first if working outside of the School building to access the full database. I want you to find this article on Building Green Suite and read it please. It covers many aspects of window selection that are not covered at all in Allen. It is called "Choosing Windows: Looking Through the Options". I suspect you need to actually log in to make this link work. http://www.buildinggreen.com.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca/auth/article.cfm/2011/1/27/Choosing-Windows-Looking-Through-the-Options/
