Architectural Science and Systems, Minor

The Minor in Architectural Science and Systems is a four-course curriculum that combines a comprehensive exploration of the full range of building systems with a thorough understanding of the physical phenomena to which they respond. Students investigate the primary component systems of buildings and their synergistic integration, including site, structure, enclosure, environmental comfort, and passive and active energy systems. While technical topics form the core content of these courses, systems thinking is the critical and analytical bond among them.
