Architectural Design @ Stanford

Join us for the last AD program BBQ of the year! Let’s finish out the year in aiery blaze of hamburgers, hotdogs and something vegetarian.

Come on out, eat some food, and have a great time!

What:    BBQ
Where:    Lake Lag BBQ Pit
When:    Next Thursday, May 24th at 5:30pm

Majors and program affiliates only please.

We are pleased to announce two new lecture/seminar based courses for next year. One will focus on contemporary architecture and give you a greater appreciation of the role of materials selection in architecture. The other course will be invaluable in terms of defining career paths that are related to the built environment: professional positions that may not be transparent to you at this point, (at the same time you will get a more detailed look at architecture as a profession, and study the work of the architects that will speak in the Spring Architectural Lecture series). These are both electives that you definitely want to consider, and both will give you opportunities to be engaged in discourse on contemporary architecture.

This new post shares portfolios of students continuing to graduate studies in architecture. We think it will be of interest for those developing their portfolios to see the portfolios that assisted these students in getting into the schools of their choice.

Marcela Delgado who graduated in 2005-06, applied to a number of graduate schools of architecture in 2006-07. She has been accepted at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Berkeley, and the University of Texas. To see her portfolio click here. (pdf)
Joseph Bergen who is graduating this year (2006-07) was accepted at Harvard and Yale. To see his portfolio click here.

CEE 183: Integrated Building Design,
Prof. Greg Deierlein, Terman 101, T/Th, 10-11:50am

Design decision making from conception through construction of civil infrastructure facilities considering sustainable design aspects. Execu­tion of a design alternative through development of a structural system, considering integration with architecture, construction, and building systems.

Class sessions will include time spent working in design project sessions with guidance and critiques by faculty and industry mentors. The class is designed around the concept that architectural students and engineering students will complement each other in approaching design decision making from conception to structural execution.

Prerequisites for AD Majors: E14, CEE 100, CEE 101A, CEE 156, CEE 130, CEE 134A or CEE 137A, and CEE 136.
