Provides an understanding of the theoretical aspects of computer applications in lighting design; and the practical knowledge of tools that enhance the integration of the lighting analysis into architectural design processes.

ARCH 586 Computation and Design Technology Seminar (3)
Explores relationship between design technology and computational tools, and how the emergence of computation as a mainstream tool in design is changing architectural practice and design technology research. Discusses how information technologies carry implications and opportunities in the design process, representation, and end products. Offered: A.

ARCH 587 Theory of Design Computing (3)
Examines the relationship between theory of design and computational tools for practice. Explores how the emergence of computers as a mainstream tool in design has already changed architectural practice. Discusses how, as with other technologies that revolutionized the practice of architecture, information technologies carry hidden implications about design process and products. Offered: A.

ARCH 588 Research Practice (3)
Provides the opportunity for a guided preliminary exploration and refinement of a research topic, prior to thesis proposal. Weekly seminar meetings focus on student work with regular presentations and discussions. Offered: W.

ARCH 590 Urban and Preservation Issues in Design (3)
Introduction to recent theory and practice in the fields of urban design and historic preservation primarily in North American urban contexts, including examples of recent projects presented by practicing professionals. Concurrent with ARCH 500.

ARCH 591 Architecture and Landscape (3)
Advanced introduction to the relationships between buildings and places in the landscape with an emphasis on Western concepts of nature. A taxonomy of place as nature is developed. Explores ways in which the architect can design places that landscape taxonomy. Concurrent with ARCH 502.

ARCH 592 Research Methods (3)
Role and practice of research methods in architecture related to themes of product, process, and performance. Explores the idea of research as a practice unique to architecture in order to discover how innovative approaches and/or outcomes emerge from generating, reinterpreting, and/or rediscovering information from a critical and creative perspective. Offered: ASp.

Offered: Sp.

ARCH 595 Thesis Research and Preparation (4)
Develops skills for conducting master's thesis research, including writing a major portion of the thesis document. Engages students as a community of peers sharing ideas and resources for completing thesis work. Required for admission to the master's thesis design studio. Credit/no-credit only. Offered: Sp.

ARCH 596 Fieldwork in Professional Practice (*, max. 9)
On-location study under the supervision of a practicing professional involved in an aspect of environmental design.

ARCH 597 Research Practicum (5)
Provides a mentored research opportunity where students apply their research and writing skills and knowledge of methods and theory to an advanced research topic. Offered: Sp.

ARCH 598 Special Topics for Graduate Students (1-6, max. 18)
Systematic study and offering of specialized subject matter. Topics vary and are announced in the preceding quarter and published in the course syllabus.

ARCH 599 Independent Thesis Research and Preparation (3/4)
Participants identify a master's thesis research area, articulate a specific question within the research area, find relevant literature and prepare an annotated bibliography, establish a research method and timetable, pursue preparatory research and analysis for the thesis project, and write, present, and defend a thesis proposal. Credit/no-credit only. Offered: AWSp.
