Territorial Acknowledgement We acknowledge that the School of Architecture is located on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. The University is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes 10 kilometres on each side of the Grand River. (see references here: https://uwaterloo.ca/engineering/about/territorial-acknowledgement) 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 · prepare a weekly sketch of a steel detail · in teams of 2 (masters) or (undergrad) students, complete the CISC Design Competition - Pedestrian Bridge The course reflects the research of my book on Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel published by Birkhauser in January 2015. A major graded element this term will be your sketchbook - much like we did in Building Construction in first year. The taking of hand notes will help you in this process as well as encourage you to keep pace with the work and not fall behind. These will be evaluated on a weekly basis - so simple cell phone shots compiled into a PDF and uploaded to the LEARN Dropbox will suffice. They are due prior to the next class. Late submissions will be given a grade of zero. The major term project will be the CISC Competition". I am excited to inform you that they have increased the prize money! First prize is now $8,000! Second is $4,000 and third is $2,000. There will be honorable mentions as well. This class is well positioned to win this competition as this course that you are taking is the most comprehensive one on architectural steel detailing in the world. And I am not kidding. Learning Outcomes: There are some clear things that you should be able to do or know by the end of this course. 1. Understand the workings of the CISC method of specifying AESS - the category and characteristics system. 2. Understand the critical role of detailing as it plays into the design, fabrication and erection of steel. 3. Understand the role of the architect in the process, particularly in the selection of detail and splice types as they factor into overall buildability and construction safety. 4. Be able to design a highly detailed architecturally exposed steel structure that is credible in its detailing, member selection and constructability. Log-in to LEARN: here |

TENSILE STRUCTURES PART 2 COMPLEXITY: No notes or sketches required after this class. There are 10 sets of lecture notes required. I understand that things got shifted around but I was unable to rename the notes as once the system is being used aspects are locked. Just be sure that you have notes in all of the folders and I will sort it out on my end. |

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: Late sketches will be awarded a grade of zero. You have a week in which to complete each sketch. Not keeping up with your work is problematic and leads to other issues. For the Final Project late penalties of 5% per day will be applied, following the 24 hour grace period. After 5 days of lateness a grade of zero will be applied. SKETCHBOOK:
You are required to keep a sketchbook/notebook for this class. Graded on the basis of neatness and completeness. WEEKLY SKETCHES: 30%: 10 sketches @ 3% each. CISC Competition: |
Avoidance of Academic Offenses |
Fall 2023 COVID-19 Special Statement Given the continuously evolving situation around COVID-19, students are to refer to the University of Waterloo’s developing information resource page (https://uwaterloo.ca/coronavirus/) for up-to-date information on academic updates, health services, important dates, co-op, accommodation rules and other university level responses to COVID-19. Mental Health Support All of us need a support system. We encourage you to seek out mental health supports when they are needed. Please reach out to Campus Wellness (https://uwaterloo.ca/campus-wellness/) and Counselling Services (https://uwaterloo.ca/campus-wellness/counselling-services). We understand that these circumstances can be troubling, and you may need to speak with someone for emotional support.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Commitment At the School of Architecture, we are committed to foster and support equity, diversity and inclusion. We recognize however, that discrimination does occur, sometimes through an isolated act, but also through practices and policies that must be changed. If you experience discrimination, micro-aggression, or other forms of racism, sexism, discrimination against LGBTQ2S+, or disability, there are different pathways to report them: A) If you feel comfortable bringing this up directly with the faculty, staff or student who has said or done something offensive, we invite you, or a friend, to speak directly with this person. People make mistakes and dealing them directly in the present may be the most effective means of addressing the issue. B) you can reach out to either the undergraduate (Becky Moore or Terri Boake), graduate office (Tina Davidson, Lola Sheppard), or director (Maya Przybylski). If you contact any of these people in confidence, they are bound to preserve your anonymity and follow up on your report. C) You may also choose to report centrally to the Equity Office. The Equity Office can be reached by emailing equity@uwaterloo.ca. More information on the functions and services of the equity office can be found here: https://uwaterloo.ca/human-rights-equity-inclusion/about/equity-office.
