AT III, Envelopes

This course introduces students to the technical design of structural and building envelope systems. The course is divided into two modules, each taught by a specialist in that subject. Lectures will alternate. See the Schedule.

The first module focuses on structural systems and is taught by Katherine Chan. The material is based on the structural concepts first introduced in AT2. This module covers structural design criteria, building structural design, and discusses common structural systems and materials. Students learn how to develop and detail preliminary designs of structural systems based on the strength and properties of different materials, as well as the geometry of their building designs.

The second module focuses on building envelopes and is taught by Gabrielle Brainard. Beginning with envelope design principals and system typologies, and moving on to performance criteria, documentation strategies, and considerations of project execution (fabrication, installation, cost), this module covers the tools and methods of façade design and prepares students to design advanced enclosure systems.

The course is taught in lecture format. The lectures cover core concepts relevant to the design process of both structural and envelope systems. A series of design and detailing exercises encourage students to immediately engage with the material presented during class and develop a hands-on understanding of the principles and systems discussed.

AT3 is taught in parallel with AT4 – Integrated Systems. Students are expected to apply the material covered in AT3 to the structural and envelope design of their AT4 projects.
