    Description
    This advanced capstone course emphasizes the student's responsibility for creating a comprehensive set of construction documents for a self-selected architectural project. Students will be tasked with conducting the necessary calculations and providing supporting research to ensure the technical accuracy and viability of their work. Throughout the course, students will be expected to execute precise, code-compliant drawings using Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. They will independently perform calculations related to structural integration, envelope assemblies, and the performance of sustainable building systems. Students must demonstrate their ability to justify their design and construction decisions through research, including material choices and energy strategies, ensuring that these align with sustainable and climate-adaptive goals.
