ARCH 2041 ADVANCED RENDERING
3 credits tba
The goal of this course is to introduce students to advanced digital and hybrid rendering techniques alongside pertinent academic discourse on perception and visualization and their roles in relation to design. Students will be encouraged to develop a visual style appropriate to their chosen project(s) and consider their renderings as images and products in themselves, rather than as solely representations. This course is open to students from all disciplines with an interest in digital modeling and visualization. Students considering this course should have some previous experience with 3D modeling software.
Students will be encouraged to arrive with a project of interest, whether or not it has been modeled previously. The class will focus on the production of images using V-Ray and Adobe Photoshop but will also discuss advanced modeling techniques to add detail in service of the final renderings.
Open to sophomores and above.

ARCH 2045 DIGITAL + FABRICATION
3 credits tba
What is digital fabrication? Where and when is value made in a process of fabricating digital design. What part of the process is more important, input or output?
The goal of this class is to allow you to explore what the term digital fabrication means in your discipline. Projects will root in your background and interest. Through the use of digital design tools (such as rhino, autoCAD, grasshopper, and more) we will create from your existing skill set, and move deeper into a digital realm. The class will give you working experience with the CNC Router, laser cutter, and 3D printer, as well as introduce you to other digital fabrication tools around RISD.
Estimated Cost of Materials: $200.00
Open to Undergraduate and Graduate Students

ARCH 2106 MATERIAL POTENTIAL
3 credits James Dean
In this course we will research and discuss a variety of materials, their physical properties and their applications. Using furniture as our vehicle, we will explore how these materials might be utilized, beyond their original intent. We
will also examine how the manipulation of these materials can create new ideas in furniture. In the first half of the course students will research, view, handle, and discuss a variety of materials. In the second half, students will model and construct, either a 1/4 scale model, or a full scale detail of a piece of furniture using a material selected from the research done in the first half of the course.

ARCH 4705 DIGITAL SENSE
3 credits Joy Ko/Brooks Hagan
How can timeless human activities such as drawing and painting, relegated to the realm of the analogue, meaningfully engage 3D modeling platforms like Rhino/Grasshopper and contemporary output methods such as 3D printing? How can we learn to intuit in the realm of the virtual and what are the boundaries of this experience? This course will allow new ways of "seeing" and "feeling" and use a computational framework in the design process. Rather than take a conventional approach based on the technical aspects of a specific software program, students will be exposed to a rich diversity of potential work flows. The goal of this course is enhancing personal craft and technique through these digital tools while exploring new potential approaches to advanced technology. The explanation of textile structure and architecture of cloth will serve as a starting point for ideas. Estimated material costs: To be determined (based on Model Shop Fee Structure)
Open to Sophomore and Above.

ARCH W204 ARCHITECTONICS
3 credits tba
An introduction to the principles of architectural design beginning with a close examination of materials, forces and the human body. The examination will progressively widen in scope to include issues of form, space, structure, program and site. This condensed architectural studio is intended for freshmen and students outside the Division of Architecture and Design.

ARCH W228 MATH AND PHYSICS REVIEW
3 credits tba
This course is intended for architecture students to review and solidify the math and physics background needed to gain a good understanding of the required structural courses. Topics covered are designed to augment the fall Structural Analysis course and prepare students for easier learning in the upcoming spring's Wood Structures course. Problem sets, hands-on activities, and lectures will be tailored to the students' interests and review needs for better comprehension in future structures courses.
Open to Graduate and Undergraduate Students

ARCH 2199 PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIP
3 credits Brett Schneider
An eight week Professional Internship is required of all B.Arch and M.Arch candidates. The curriculum outline notes that the Internship occurs during the summer following the 3rd year of the B.Arch program and following the 1st year of the M.Arch and Advanced Transfer program. However, the Internship may be taken during any summer with Department approval. Waivers are available. Students with prior professional experience matching the Department's requirements may waive ARCH 2199 with departmental approval.
Credits: Student chooses either no credits or three credits as above. Grades are Pass or Fail.
To register, go to www.risdcareers.com (ArtWorks) Course not available via web registration.

ARCH 8960 PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIP
3 credits Staff
Off-campus professional experience in a wide variety of settings, including offices of practicing architects, or other professional designers, public agencies, construction, and community service. Students are required to make all pertinent arrangements, with the aid of the Career Services office, with outside individuals or agencies and to provide the
grade is assigned once the professional sponsor has written a letter of evaluation.

ARCH 8900 INDEPENDENT STUDY- MAJOR
3 credits tba
The Independent Study Project (ISP) allows students to supplement the established curriculum by completing a faculty supervised project for credit in a specific area of interest. Its purpose is to meet individual student needs by providing an alternative to regularly offered courses.
Once the form is completed and ready for the Department Head's signature, the supervising instructor or student should send the application to [email protected].
Permission of instructor and GPA of 3.0 or higher is required. Register by completing the Independent Study Application available on the Registrar's website; the course is not available via web registration

(FALL/WINTER/SPRING)
ARCH 8965 COLLABORATIVE STUDY
3 credits Staff
A Collaborative Study Project (CSP) allows two students to work collaboratively to complete a faculty supervised project of indepedndent study.
Usually, a CSP is supervised by two faculty members, but with approval it may be supervised by one faculty member. Its purpose is to meet individual student needs by providing an alternative to regularly offered courses, though it is not a substitute for a course if that course is regularly offered.
