For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm In this course we examine the relationship between public policy and urban design through readings, discussions, presentations, and papers. We also analyze the ways in which policies shape cities, and investigate how governments implement urban design. Students gain a critical understanding of both the complex system of governance within which urban design occurs and the effective tools available for creative intervention. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-337JSpring-2009/CourseHome/index.htm Inam, Aseem 2009-09-29T02:02:46-04:00 11.337J 4.247J en-US Architecture Urban Education and Leadership garden city neighborhood unit new urbanism best practices neighborhood design toolkits for urban design city design political culture community groups private developers tools of government urban design policy government design policy Urban Studies and Planning MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course will study the question of Global Architecture from the point of view of producing a set of lectures on that subject. The course will be run in the form of a writing seminar, except that students will be asked to prepare for the final class an hour-long lecture for an undergraduate survey course. During the semester, students will study the debates about where to locate "the global" and do some comparative analysis of various textbooks. The topic of the final lecture will be worked on during the semester. For that lecture, students will be asked to identify the themes of the survey course, and hand in the bibliography and reading list for their lecture. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-696Spring-2008/CourseHome/index.htm Jarzombek, Mark 2009-09-29T02:02:15-04:00 4.696 en-US Architecture Architectural History and Criticism, General how societies choose to fail or succeed collapse jared diamond salt a world history mark kurlansky ethnocentrism eurocentrism art history comparative globality architectural history global perspective researching history comparative analysis the global survey course global architectures MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course provides students with a basic knowledge of structural analysis and design for buildings, bridges and other structures. The course emphasizes the historical development of structural form and the evolution of structural design knowledge, from Gothic cathedrals to long span suspension bridges. Students will investigate the behavior of structural systems and elements through design exercises, case studies, and load testing of models. Students will design structures using timber, masonry, steel, and concrete and will gain an appreciation of the importance of structural design today, with an emphasis on environmental impact of large scale construction. We will cover the following topics: graphical analysis and design of structures; properties of construction materials; environmental assessment of materials; analysis, design and behavior of beams, columns, trusses, frames, arches; and structural systems. The laboratory exercises include design exercises, materials testing, and model building. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-440Spring-2009/CourseHome/index.htm Ochsendorf, John 2009-12-10T04:00:40-05:00 4.440 4.462 en-US Architecture Interior Design sustainable structures concrete steel timber structural failures axial forces tension compression design exercises model building structural systems arch frame truss column beam environmental assessment graphical analysis sustainable construction environment historical structures structural design structural analysis MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
