Course Description:THIS COURSE IS ALL ABOUT DESIGN, NOT CALCULATIONS. LEARNING OUTCOMES INCLUDE AN INCREASE IN YOUR ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND HOW STRUCTURES WORK, AND DETAIL THE SAME. PORTFOLIO WORTHY DESIGN PROJECTS. Using an international database of case studies this course examines in detail the architectural design, specification, fabrication and construction process for Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS). It references the standards that were developed by the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction. Lectures will address topics including, the AESS Category Approach, fabrication standards and practices, project communication, tensile structures, diagrid structures, curved steel, castings, pedestrian bridges, steel with glazing, steel with timber. The work of the term will use current steel based competitions to explore detailed design application of the material. The term’s knowledge will focus on DESIGN PROJECTS that requires the students to design and detail architecturally exposed structural steel systems, connections and buildings. Students will The majority of the project work has been designed as group projects to keep it manageable and within the suggested constraints of an elective. If there are compelling reasons for tackling the work individually, these can be discussed. The course reflects the research of my new book on Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel published by Birkhauser in January 2015. Log-in to LEARN: here |

An extra session to be arranged at a mutually convenient time for consultation on the final design project. |
Work to date to be submitted for the AISC/ACSA Competition. The final competition submission is not due to ACSA until May 25, 2016. A provisional grade will be used for end of term grading purposes. This can be revised to account for the final competition entry. Submission via LEARN. Fully graded date for UW is May 20, so I need your projects submitted for grading by May 15 if you wish other than an IP grade on your transcript. |
Reference Texts and other Materials: |
These texts will be on reserve in Musagetes. We have at most 2 copies of each book so you are not to remove them from the library to your personal shelves for the term. They are all available on Amazon. If you were to purchase just one for the course, the AESS one would be the most directly related.

Evaluation: |
The final term grade will consist of an average of submitted work as follows. Late Penalties: SKETCHBOOK: 20% You are required to keep a sketchbook/notebook for this class. It will be graded /10 for evidence of class attendance and /10 for completeness/coherence of said notes. As the focus of the course is on steel detailing, the lecture will be paused at several points during the class to allow adequate time to sketch the details on the screen. Approximately 3 to 4 detailed sketches per lecture. Pause time will vary. If you miss a class, you lose both the mark for attendance as well as the potential mark for the quality of those notes.
