Handout #1 ARC 308 Architecture and Society Instructor: Larry Speck, office GOL 4.142B, office hours TTh 2:00-3:00pm Lecture Time: TTh 12:30 pm-2:00 pm Lecture Place: HRH 2.104 Prerequisites None. Required course for architecture majors. This course may be used to fulfill the visual and performing arts component of the university core curriculum and addresses the following four core objectives established by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board: communication skills, critical thinking skills, teamwork and social responsibility. Educational Objectives 1. To establish a perspective of the role and influence of architecture in society and vis-a-vis other disciplines in the arts and science. 2. To develop an understanding of how architecture is shaped by and reflects cultural values and social organization. 3. To present a broad picture of issues and factors which influence architectural design. 4. To begin an acquaintance with the history and development of architecture. Educational Approach This is a reading/looking/listening course. It will follow a fairly conventional lecture format supplemented by related outside reading. Most presentations will be illustrated by slides with examples drawn from a broad spectrum of architectural history, with emphasis on the recent past. This course carries a Global Cultures flag which means it will increase your familiarity with cultural groups outside the U.S. and how they have used architecture as a means of forming and expressing their cultural values. Evaluation There will be three tests as well as a final exam in the course. Each test will count 15% of your final grade. The final will also count 15%. Participation in class (in the form of question responses due most class periods) and in discussion sections will count 20%. The remaining 20% of your grade will be based on a series of short papers that you will write through the semester. Tests will involve standard questions as well as essay questions analyzing buildings on campus or nearby to demonstrate understanding of material covered in lectures and reading over a five- to seven-week period. The final exam will deal with comprehensive material covered in the course. Paper assignments will be dealt with primarily in discussion sections.
