Summer 2024
STUDY ABROAD - JAPAN (Undergraduate
DES 3993 Special Topics: Toyko - Immersive Design and Technology
Students will explore several immersive interactive technology and design projects that are currently happening in Tokyo, Japan. They will explore various hardware and software used in immersive technology as well as different applications of the technology. In addition to discovering projects and uses, students will create a self-directed project in Tokyo using AR, VR, XR, or video. In addition to using AR, XR, VR as a medium, students will also explore content of these projects, discovering the various roles design and technology can have on our lives.
Program Dates: June 1 – June 16 (2 weeks). For cost and schedule questions and information, please email Steve Coy ( scoy@goudounet.com )

ARC 4993 / ARC 6003
Special Topics: Guerilla Architecture and Humanitarian Design (with Scott Shall)
Thursday 7:30 pm - 11:35 pm (ONLINE)
This course will look to renowned thinkers and makers, strategists and guerrillas, to unearth useful strategies for the activist, reformer and humanitarian. Students enrolled in the course will then act upon this position by realizing a coordinated series of small-scale interventions intended to aid a disadvantaged person or community group in or around our region. Through these conjoined acts – research and making – this course will investigate, evolve and redefine the methods, habits and potentials of both the guerrilla and architect.
Restrictions: SO, JR, SR, GR only
ARC 3843 BIM for Building Systems (with Corbin Patten)
Thursday 7:30pm – 11:35pm
Introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools and techniques pertaining to structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other service networks. BIM tools are applied to model the components of individual networks and gain an understanding of the integration of different networks within the building. The role of BIM as a collaborative platform between different disciplines in the building industry is explored
Restrictions: GR only

DES 3993 Special Topics: Social Connection and Technology (with Jessica Jordan)
Tuesday and Thursday 4:20pm to 5:35pm (ONLINE)
Artificial Intelligence is progressing rapidly and raising questions about human-computer connections and relationships. Social media has made us more connected than ever, yet studies continuously show that loneliness pervades the most tech-savvy generations. In this course, we will imagine how networks like families, communities, social networks, and infrastructure will change as technology grows and our society adapts to that growth. We will use key research around social networks, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction to develop hypotheses about the future of technology and the impact it will have on our relationships. The aim of this class is to discard current assumptions and think of future norms around technology and social connection. Class meetings include a mix of lecture, discussion, and collaborative group activities to test theories and techniques first hand.
Restrictions: SO, JR, SR only
INX 3993 Special Topics: Reimagining Resiliency, Securing Sustainability
Monday and Wednesday 2:00pm-4:40pm
The course will work with Architecture through a design project focused on sustainability to realize a project that achieves resiliency goals for energy and carbon. Focus will be on sustainable materials and life cycle analysis, principles of timber structural design to inform massing and architectural form, and design considerations for energy generation.
Co-listed with an architecture senior studio.
Restrictions: SO, JR, SR only
Recommended: JR and Sr Interior Design and Product Design
ART 3023 Photography (with Tryst Mallette)
Monday and Wednesday 11:00am-12:50pm (ON GROUND)
This course focuses on the use of the camera and darkroom as well as digital photographic processes. Students consider the creative and critical visual communication applications of photography.

GRA 2223 Visual Culture (with Stefan Cieply)
Tuesday and Thursday 9:30am-10:45am
This course addresses the relationship between sight, knowledge, and power to consider the aesthetic and cultural value of images. Students learn to analyze the production, reception, and circulation of images to understand their visual meaning as well as social and cultural impact. Coursework addresses the visual world as manifested in design, art, architecture, popular media, and more, and draws from a variety of fields, including art and design history, media studies, critical theory, and philosophy.
Prerequisites: COM 1103
IDD 3993 Special Topics:Multimodal Prototyping (with Justin Famularo)
