Important Announcement:  Fall 2009 Changes to Courses and Curricula. The Architecture Department has updated its undergraduate and graduate course offerings to add new courses, to enhance courses in design and digital design, and to emphasize subject areas that address compelling societal and environmental challenges. We are hoping that all new course numbers will be in place by the fall semester, but students may need to sign up under the old course numbers while the transition is underway. Courses have also been reorganized into three groups:

  • Architectural Design and Representation; Professional Practice
  • Architectural History, Culture, and Society
  • Architectural Technologies and Building Performance
     

These changes will affect the architecture undergraduate curriculum. Please see the AB Degree in Architecture webpage or talk to an advisor for further information.
