    Abstract

    Architecture 3240/6240 is intended as a first course in structures for architecture undergraduates and for graduate students with degrees in other disciplines. The course seeks to develop a student's analytic and critical skills through both mathematical and visual investigation of structures, towards the objective of being able to learn about structure through informed observation, and to manipulate structure to enhance architectural intent.

    Note that the web-based materials are rebuilt each spring semester as the course progresses. A Course Sampler has been organized to give an overview.
