ARCH 647 HISTORIC PRESERVATION THEORY

ONLINE / JUNE - JULY

KAPILA D. SILVA, PHD

Working with historic buildings and neighborhoods, related legislation, and adaptive-reuse of historic structures are essential parts of the professional life of architects and planners. Repurpose and reuse of the existing building stock is a critical part of sustainable development. Furthermore, the documentation, preservation, and interpretation of history represented through historic buildings and landscapes is a vital aspect of any community’s civic pride. Historic preservation, therefore, could be considered an important domain of knowledge for architects and planners. This course presents the historical development and contemporary status of the theories and philosophies of historic preservation. It particularly covers the concepts and approaches developed by UNESCO for the management of tangible and intangible cultural heritage resources worldwide and the related international charters, conventions, operational guidelines, and institutions. Using international case studies, it illustrates a range of theoretical, philosophical, ethical, and practical issues and debates in historic preservation in a global context. Students will gain knowledge in the theoretical discourses behind the identification, interpretation, and rehabilitation of historic buildings, neighborhoods, and landscapes in both the US and international contexts. This course is one of the 04 core courses of the Graduate Certificate of Historic Preservation, offered by the KU School of Architecture and Design. The core courses are: Arch 646 American Architecture Survey; Arch 647 Historic Preservation Theory; Arch 648/UBPL 760 Historic Preservation Planning; and Arch 649 Historic Preservation Technology. Students receive the certificate when these 04 core courses are completed.

EVIDENCE-BASED DESIGN FOR HEALTHCARE FACILITIES: An Online Course for Integrating Research and Analytical Tools in Healthcare Design

Online-Summer 2021|Dr. Hui Cai (huicai@ku.edu) Associate Professor, Associate Director Institute of Health and Wellness Design Department of Architecture COURSE OBJECTIVES AND LEARNING OUTCOMES: This online interdisciplinary course analyzes major trends and issues in health care design. It addresses contemporary healthcare facility design and planning issues by in-depth investigation of best practice examples, design and research methods including evidence-based, lean process improvement, and space syntax analysis that leads to high-performance healthcare design. The class modules and hands-on experience in applying EBD in healthcare facilities will help prepare students to take the EDAC (Evidence-based Design Accreditation and Certification) exam. http://www.healthdesign.org/edac.

The course will help students:

1. Discover the unique challenges of healthcare planning and design and obtain general understanding of key issues related to healthcare facilities design and research; 2. Compare and critique related literature in healthcare planning and design. Understand the impacts of healthcare environment on patient, family, caregivers, and organizational outcomes. Analyze key issues and trends in the field with the support of research evidence; 3. Analyze health care environments utilizing evidence-based, data-driven approaches that integrate the clinical process and technology with design; 4. Propose a data-driven, evidence-based design research by using research skills of literature review, case study, field observation, interview, and survey; 5. Learn to engage multiple disciplines in participatory evidence-based design process including: architects, systems engineers, clinicians, and hospital administrators; 6. Apply evidence-based design principles and research on developing innovative design solutions.

IA 690ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

OF CULTURES AROUND THE WORLD

Asynchronous**, fully online on Canvas5 credits

(replaces study abroad credits/architecture and interior architecture electives)

June 8-25, 2021 (3 weeks, Monday through Friday)

The course is designed to give you an architectural journey around the world in 3 weeks! You will learn about several “non-western" cultures ranging from Asia to Africa, Middle East and Latin America with a specific focus on traditional architecture and design as well as on unique and fascinating design principles and approaches that are quite different from "western" cultures!

**The course is very flexible; daily class activities are open from 6:00 am to 11:30 pm to accommodate your summer work and other schedules. Daily activities typically include going through a pre-recorded lecture and participating in a class discussion within the day. Other class activities includes 3 short assignments (each with at least one week’s time to complete) and a quiz at the end of each week.

Historic Preservation Technology

Course Overview

Th is course introduces students to architectural historiography and preservation technology. It covers a range of curatorial issues in preservation and adaptive reuse of historic buildings. Th e topics include technical documentation of historic buildings, archival research, assessment of causes of deterioration and preservation needs in historic buildings, selection of preservation strategies, and techniques of building material preservation. Also covered are the integration of sustainable technologies into historic construction and examination of the ecological advantages of adaptive reuse and preservation.

Course OverviewArch 600 Applied Historic Preservation Technology is a summer workshop focused on using 3D scanning technology to document historic buildings, spaces and sculptures. Th e class will be organized into three diff erent scanning case studies: scanning the entire exterior of a historic building using drone technology, scanning interior spaces using photogrammetry, scanning the newly completed stone grotesque sculptures at Dyche Hall. Each of these case studies will lead to the student’s choice of assignment based on their own interests.

• Drones + Architecture• 3D scanning + Interiors• Product Development + Interactive Exhibit• Applied Professional Experience!Technologies applicable to multiple disciplines: Architecture, Interior Architecture, Industrial Design and Museum Studies

SCALE : MOVEMENT : EQUITY

ARCH 600 SUMMER 2021

University of Kansas School of Architecture and DesignGregory Crichlow

As we look to increase accessibility in our everyday this seminar will focus on how we as broad scale designers look to effect movement through the built space with the detail of industrial design. Our lens of investigation shall be framed through the use of micro-mobility and its potential for connectivity, urban scale manipulation and equity.

Micro-mobility will be our primary focus of initiation that will bring clarity to a broader conversation about efficient, sustainable and more acces-sible public spaces. We will look at historical precedents and current trajectories and try to understand the role micro-mobility has played in the conception and execution if the built environment.

We will begin with the esign and evolution of the human powered vehicles with their relationship with public use and opinion. We will also look to understand the possible value of equating a human powered vehicles’s means and methods of fabrication to the potential fabrication of the built environment. In doing so, The potential for a new paradigm for understanding our contextual fabrics is introduced.
