4.1 Student
Progress Evaluation Procedures
Supplemental information to the APR must include the following:
• A description of the procedures
for evaluating student transfer credits and advanced placement
BFA-DESIGN
Undergraduate
application to the Program of Architecture+Design in the Department of Art,
Architecture and Art History at the
MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE
All applicants to the Master of Architecture program, who
have completed prior undergraduate or graduate coursework in architecture, must
submit design portfolios and transcripts from all previous
colleges/universities they attended (regardless of whether or not they
graduated) in order to be considered for course waivers and advanced standing.
In addition to this, students with foreign degrees must provide transcript
evaluations that translates course grades and credits to U.S.-based grading
standards.
After admissions decisions are made, the director conducts a
formal review of transcripts and portfolios from all successful applicants who
have earned pre-professional architecture degrees from schools with NAAB
programs, or equivalent, to determine the number of course waivers given and
placement within the design studio sequence
Waivers (with reduction in credit hours) can be given for
coursework equivalent to introductory courses (500 level) in the 3 year Master
of Architecture curriculum. The program may ask the student for more
information— e.g., course syllabi--if questions arise relative to the content
of certain courses that are being considered as the basis for graduate-level
course waivers. In order for a course
to be waived it must achieve parity in content, credit hours, and in relevant
NAAB criteria. (For example, history
courses must cover the same time periods and geographic emphases—non-western
and western traditions—as UMass courses). In order for courses to be waived,
students must have earned a “B” or better grade.
In addition to grade
reviews, portfolios are assessed to determine studio waivers and placement.
Studio waivers and placement are based on the comparable quality and level of
development of previous design projects to the master’s core studio sequence.
If a student is placed in the advanced design sequence, previous work must be
deemed exceptional and the appropriate credit hours of core design studios are
waived.
All students who are issued course waivers are then issued a
form which specifies all courses waived (and all remaining courses to be taken
at UMass).
Students who have completed graduate-level coursework
elsewhere are eligible to receive up to 12 credit hours of course waivers at
UMass, if those courses were completed with a “B” or better grade. This course
must have been completed as part of an accredited program at another
institution, or graduate courses at UMass taken under a non-degree seeking
status.
• A description of the procedures
for evaluating student progress, including the institutional and program
policies and standards for evaluation, advancement, graduation, and
remediation.
BFA-DESIGN
All students are updated regarding the status of their
credit distributions prior to advising periods through a categorized audit
sheet of all courses taken (in residence and transfer); this audit sheet is
also available electronically via the UMass website (SPIRE).
There is a major checkpoint at the end of the sophomore
year. At this point, in order to continue in the program, students must have
maintained a 3.25 in all required department Foundations classes (including
Arch-Des, Art and Art-Hist) and completed most general education requirements.
Students with less than a GPA between 3.0 and 3.25 must submit a portfolio
which is reviewed by the faculty. (The faculty may require additional
coursework). Students with less than a 3.0 GPA cannot continue as BFA-Design
majors. (They can, however, retake core course to improve GPA).
MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE
Student progress in the Master of Architecture program is evaluated at regular intervals. The first
major check occurs after the first year. The second one occurs prior to Research
Forum (masters project planning).
Students also meet with faculty advisors each semester
before signing up for the next semester’s classes. Graduate students must
maintain an overall average of 3.0 (“B”) in the courses which a student is offering to satisfy degree requirements,
a minimum standard for satisfactory work is a 3.0 average. A student who in any two semesters,
consecutive or otherwise, has semester averages of below 2.8 is subject to
academic dismissal. A student must make satisfactory and reasonable
progress toward completion of a degree program within the Statute of
Limitations for that degree. A student who is not making satisfactory or
reasonable progress is subject to termination.
4.2 Studio
Culture Policy
Supplemental information to the APR must include the school’s current
studio culture policy.
THE STUDIO
The studio is a learning environment
that is directly affected by its qualities as a physical place. Each studio
should maintain a well ordered and constructive working environment by keeping
trash picked up, neatly storing projects, and looking out for the security of
the studio. Recycling of paper, cardboard and chipboard is mandatory - use the
appropriate containers.
Each individual studio class is
responsible for the condition of the studio. If you come into the room and it
needs some straightening up, please act in the interest of the collective good
and clean up. At the end of the Fall semester the studios must be cleaned and
work stored and/or well organized. At the end of the Spring semester all work
must be removed, the studios must be broom cleaned and prepared for the
Junior/Senior show.
Students must use caution when using
all materials. Read all safety and health literature supplied with materials. Aerosol
sprays and solvents should only be used with adequate ventilation and not be
used in the studios. Exercise caution when cutting materials with sharp
blades. Recycling and the proper
disposal of hazardous waste is mandatory.
Keys for the studio can be ordered
and are available through Lisa in the
ATTENDANCE
The general university rules and
regulations regarding attendance, withdrawals, add / drops, incompletes and
grading are followed by this program. The Program encourages sensible time
management practices for students and faculty. Attendance to all studios,
lectures and reviews is mandatory. You must be in studio on time and you must
work in studio during class time. More than two absences from class will affect
your grade and may lead to failure; two lates are equal to one absence. If you
are ill or have an emergency leave a message for your instructor via email or
with the Art department’s main office. You should also contact a classmate to
find out the material you have missed. It is your responsibility to obtain any
assignments and make up any missed work. If you feel your absence qualifies as
an excused absence, please provide a note from a doctor to your studio
instructor.
PARTICIPATION
Your participation and progress is
important. The material presented and projects assigned in all courses is
cumulative. The assignments will be graded not only on the concept and ideas in
your project, but also on the quality of drawings, models, verbal / written
presentation and how well your project’s concept and ideas have been expressed
in your design. You are required to pin-up your work at the time when a project
is due and participate in discussion of all the projects in the class.
DOCUMENTATION and COLLECTION OF WORK
At the end of each semester, each
student is required to submit a Compact Disk with documentation of ALL WORK
from the semester. Work for Studio classes may include, but not limited to:
photos of all models and 3-D
work and high resolution scans or
digital copies of all process sketches and finished drawings.
Your documentation should cover the
project's evolution as well as its final representation. Grades will not be
issued until the CD is submitted.
In addition, selected projects will
be collected and retained by the University, you will have limited access to
your the projects once they are collected, so be sure they are thoroughly
documented. These projects are a required part of the accreditation process for
our program. Work
from lecture and seminar classes should include hard copies of all written
assignments, papers and exams.
GRADING
Your grades will be determined using
the criteria described below. Projects will be evaluated according to the
concept, development, craft, and degree of difficulty and completeness. Your
evaluation will take into account both the tangible things which are evident in
the work, but also those things which are not so evident and are often
ephemeral such as, passion, dedication, determination and persistence. The following
standards will be used in assigning grades:
A
Truly extraordinary work, which has gone far beyond the description of the
stated problem. Work that makes evident a significant understanding of the
problem, shows exceptional competence in the required skills, extraordinary
craft and exhibits an advanced conceptual clarity and depth. The student
exhibits an attitude of exploration, of open-mindedness, and a willingness to
benefit from criticism.
A- or B+
Exemplary work, which is attended
with initiative beyond the description of the stated problem. The problem is
well understood and the work shows competence, excellent craft and conceptual
clarity and depth. The student exhibits an attitude of exploration, of
open-mindedness, and benefits from criticism.
B
Good work that shows an understanding of the problem, displays a conceptual
foundation and is well crafted. Shows overall competency, as well as, mastery
in some areas. Is attended with an open and inquisitive attitude.
B- or C+
Acceptable work but with some
deficiencies. Shows an understanding of the problem, but there is a need for
some improvement to be at the appropriate level for the class / assignment.
C
Work which meets the minimum requirements of the problem and course. The
problem is only partially understood and there is a clear need for improvement
to be at the appropriate level for the class / assignment. Students should make
every effort to meet with their instructor to identify their strengths and
weaknesses.
C- or D+
Work which does not show an understanding of the problem, and demonstrates
deficiencies in the mastery of skills, self-motivation and respect for
criticism. Students should meet with the professor and discuss their course of
study.
D
Unacceptable work which does not
meet the requirements of the problem or course, shows a serious deficiency in
the mastery of skills, and suggests that this course of study may be
inappropriate for the student.
F
A grade of “F” is obvious
LATE / INCOMPLETE WORK
Students may be given an extension in the event of medical or emergency
circumstances only. Late work will only be accepted at the discretion of the
instructor. Incompletes will only be considered if a request is made in
writing, the extenuating circumstances are explained and are consistent with
University policies.
4.3 Course
Descriptions
Supplemental information to the APR must include for each required
and elective course in the accredited degree program a one-page description
with an overview, learning objectives, course requirements, prerequisites,
date(s) offered, and faculty member teaching it.
ARCH-DES 197F Design
Investigations 3 units
Instructors: Krupczynski, Lugosch,
Mann
Course description:
This course offers an exploratory
introduction to strategies and concepts of design. Design is presented as an
experimental practice where invention and investigation play essential roles.
Students examine design as a discipline that does not produce answers or
solutions to problems, but instead creates imaginative and open responses to
the question of how form and space are organized and understood.
Learning objectives:
Course requirements:
Transformation from 2-D to 3-D
(Painting analysis: Diebenkorn and/or Mondrian)
Light as a design tool
“Invisible Cities”
Hidden object
Pre-requisites:
Foundations
ARCH-DES 197G Constructed
Space 3 units
Instructors: Krupczynski, Lugosch,
Mann
Course description:
An introduction to concepts and
skills required for interior and architectural design. Projects investigate the
interrelationship of composition, form, space, light and use. The course
provides a creative framework for exploring and understanding the fundamental
elements necessary to produce meaningful spaces. Basic skills in model making
and orthographic drawing are emphasized.
Learning objectives:
Course requirements:
Projects:

Retreat (with dualistic
site: water/earth, high/low, heavy/light)
Pre-requisites: Arch-Des 197F
ARCH-DES 211 The
City 3
credits
Instructor: Page
Catalog Description:
This seminar investigates the
history of American cities, with an emphasis on the 20th century. Using
readings in history, architecture, urban ethnography, and literature, this
course seeks to uncover the largely invisible forces that have created the
physical shape and social experience of the modem American city.
Learning Objectives:
Following the Shaker proverb --
"Every force evolves a form" -- we will pay special attention to the
ways in which urban change has been reflected and refracted in the forms and
spaces of the city. We will also be charting the reverse of the Shaker proverb
by asking how the physical structures of American urban life - not simply
buildings, but highways, suburbs, natural landscapes - become themselves forces
in shaping individual and communal lives in the city.
Course requirements:
This course will require extensive
readings and a series of short writing assignments culminating in a longer
research paper.

Spaces 3
credits
Instructor: Miller Pollin
Catalog Description:
This course
investigates characteristics of a wide variety of remarkable architectural
spaces
Learning Objectives:
Lectures will include a descriptive
survey of these spaces selected from a range of historic and contemporary
periods and cultures. These case studies
will provide the basis for discussion and analysis of what comprises memorable
space—most particularly interior space.
Lectures will address not only the specific attributes of the case
studies shown in slide form but also the more general concepts behind the
evolution of these spaces. Discussions
and presentations are intended to stimulate critical thinking about the social,
religious, economic and technical contextual influences on the formation of
constructed environment as well as the natural environment. Space types ranging from public to very
private and from vernacular of indigenous to “high art” will be mined for their
informative qualities for the emerging designer. Objectives include:
Course requirements:
Each class will begin with a one
hour lecture accompanied by visual aids (slides, overheads, or handouts). Case studies will be shown in order to
magnify a particular point. Historic
examples will not be shown in chronological order but rather as they reinforce
certain spatial characteristics.
Each student will be required to
present a research project with appropriate visual aids in the classroom during
the second half of the semester. A
written summary must accompany this presentation be the semester’s end.
Class attendance and participation: 50%

and built-in architectural woodwork. Advanced drafting and small-scale sketch
model making. Three furniture design projects in presentation drawings and/or
models, plus materials and methods research, field trips and special lectures.
Learning Objectives
This course provides a broad-based
introduction to furniture design. We
will explore furniture as a response to fundamental needs, furniture as a
bearer of the human body, furniture as a material challenge, furniture as it
shapes space, furniture as an emblem of material culture and furniture as a
product. We will use our hands and our
heads as we explore several design and analysis projects, culminating in a
free-standing found-object piece.
Course Requirements
Projects, Lectures, Field Trips This course is structured to interweave various learning
devices. There will be regular lectures
as well as studio design projects.
Several field trips are also planned.
Since the course meets only once a week, with additional field trips on
Fridays, self pacing and attendance at all classes and field trips are of the
utmost importance.
Workbook/Sketchbook You will be given weekly assignments based on material from the readings
that may not be covered in class. These
are to be turned in for pin-up and discussion each week, and then assembled
into a bound notebook by each student at the end of each semester.
Scrapbook Throughout
the term, keep a large (9x12) sketchbook with notes, sketches, clippings from
readings, images and anything that you feel has inspired you. This will become a valuable tool both for
your design process, and my evaluation of your progress throughout the term.
Models, etc.

Energy conservation in contemporary
residential construction. Emphasis on: energy efficient building materials,
products and construction technology; alternative energy sources; passive solar
design; environmental concerns, regulatory issues and building codes.
Learning Objectives
“Energy Efficient Housing” presents
residential energy conservation as a primary energy resource. Energy conservation is the most
cost-effective, environmentally safe method for lowering energy costs and
reducing dependence on a finite supply of
fossil fuel. Conservation must not be
confused with personal sacrifice or going without. It means being smarter and using better, more
efficient technology. Students explore
alternative sources of energy, but primary discussion in Energy Efficient Housing
involves technical issues, dealing with building methods and materials used to
save energy while at the same time, improving comfort and performance. Political, economical and environmental
issues are inextricably connected to conservation and enter into classroom
dialogue. Classroom lectures focus on
the fundamentals of residential energy-use involving: energy-saving materials and products;
energy-efficient technology and design; sustainable construction; alternative
energy sources; affordable housing, political impact, and regulatory
developments.
Course Requirements
1)
Students are expected to play an active role in classroom learning by
participating in group discussions. This
means that students must research discussion topics prior to class and be
prepared to participate.
2)
Regular class attendance is expected.
Guest lecturers may be invited to present an overview of projects they
are currently involved with. Attendance
is mandatory for these presentations.

Learning Objectives
Principles of Light-Frame Structure
Technology provides students with an understanding of the construction
industry, processes and building materials used in contemporary residential and
light frame construction. The entire
residential construction process is reviewed:
from regulation and design through site preparation, project management,
and ultimate delivery of a completed structure.
Close attention is paid to the sequence of events as they occur in most
construction projects. Leading-edge
products and technologies are analyzed and compared to more familiar ones. Students investigate basic structural
loading, recognize load paths and use span tables to size structural elements
for a variety of basic applications.
Throughout the semester, focus is
drawn to the structural performance of various building elements, materials,
systems, and strategies used to construct enduring and sensible homes. Coursework is tied closely to the arrival of
new products, technologies and regulatory issues affecting the construction
industry. This course investigates the
products, systems and participants that shape the building-materials and
construction industry.

Principles and process of
architectural design. Projects developed and presented by student with
individual attention from instructor. Each project reviewed by open jury system
with visiting critics.
Learning Objectives
Students will build upon skills
developed in previous courses to conceptualize and holistically develop a
critical, creative architectural design which is conceptually consistent in its
1) organization, 2) tectonic expression, 3) technical, legal, and financial
feasibility, and 4) environmental sustainability. Students will inform design conceptualization
and development through research and analyses of architectural precedents and
regional typological antecedents.
Students will analyze physical, environmental, and cultural site
conditions and critically engage these conditions through the employment of
conceptually consistent strategies of placing the building into a given
situation. Working collaboratively,
students will continue to develop iterative design processes that draw from and
build upon individual experiences and previous design successes.
Course Requirements
Students will perform group research
and design. The highest level of
professionalism is expected during the quarter.
Excellent attendance (to class, reviews, charrettes, presentation,
etc.), timely completion of work (late and incomplete work will not be reviewed

Learning Objectives
This course is an intensive reading
and writing course on the central theories and philosophies shaping
architectural discourse in the 20th century, with an emphasis on the
past forty years. We will look at some
of the key thinkers and theoretical approaches that have shaped 20th
century architecture (phenomenology, structuralism, postmodernism) and then
move to a chronological focus on the past few decades of architectural
culture. The goal of the course is
twofold: to gain some mastery over the foundations of contemporary
architectural theory, and, equally, to understand how architects and designers
can put these theoretical explorations to work in their own practice.
Course Requirements
1.
2 Weekly journal - To augment your
reading, and to develop your capabilities as writers on architecture, for each
class you will write a 2-3 page essay in which you engage with the readings for
the week. I will sometimes insist on a
focused critique of one of the readings, or ask you to go to visit a particular
building and write about it. But in
other weeks, I will leave it open, and encourage you to write on whatever was
inspired by the readings. We will spend
some class time most weeks discussing approaches to architectural writing. You may
skip two weeks.
2. Group project -- The concept of
beauty, which largely fell out of favor as a way of talking about architecture
for the past two decades, is returning in new guises. The class project will be to examine the key
writings on beauty, the central intellectual problems around the idea, and to
put together a one-day symposium in the spring of 2007 which will bring
together scholars and practitioners together to wrestle with these ideas.

Design criticism, current design
literature, man/environment problems, design education, sociology of design,
energy conservation through design, etc. Guest speakers, possibly one or two
field trips; each participant prepares a class presentation on a chosen topic.
Learning Objectives
A degree project is a self-initiated
major research/project which reflects an area of design that is your particular
interest. The project could be a town
hall, community center, store complex, adaptive reuse of buildings, congregate
housing, office spaces, hotel, restaurant, transportation center, museum, or
any other major design project. The
expectations for projects are for a truly significant project, though large
size and programmatic complexity may not necessarily be the primary
determinant-your project’s significance may emerge from the types of research
themes that accompany the project.
Consider the type of work you plan to do in the future as you decide,
for this project will become a central portfolio piece.
The Objective of the BFA/MS Degree
Project is to provide a comprehensive overview of your education. The final research document, oral
presentation and drawings should reflect the course work completed in your
major as well as your readiness to enter the design field.
Course Requirements
Project Binder
The main product of the workshop is a Workshop Project Binder in which you will
compile the research completed during the semester. I suggest lightweight plastic sleeves in a
roomy binder that can hold a variety of research items from clippings to
material samples to code research, to your writings and graphics (also, you
need to keep track of bibliographic information for various items, so you can
keep track of sources. Small post-it
pads may be useful). The Project Binder
that you develop during this semester’s workshop will evolve into your Degree
Project Book as you supplement the Workshop Binder with additional
writing/analysis/documentation of your design process and completed design over
the course of your Degree Project Design semester. Two copies of the Degree Project Book must
be handed in at the end of your Degree Project Design semester in the week
following your oral presentation.
Writing /research samples handed in
during the course of the workshop semester-other than the actual binder review
should be copies of what you have in your binder, so that you keep a set of
information before you, even as I am reviewing your research.
Weekly discussion will focus on the
nature of thesis concepts and how research and writing can help to hone
interests. In addition, practical issues
of how to assemble program and site material will be reviewed.

Professional design procedures
consisting of complete design solutions from inception to completion of
project. Theory and practice seminar discussions to enlarge knowledge and
understanding of the practice of designing interiors in architecture.
Course Objectives
Summary course in the technology sequence
in which construction, structural, and environmental technology systems are
integrated within architectural design projects. Emphasis is placed on the poetic as well as
the technical aspects of building systems.
The intent of this course is to teach
the skills necessary to proceed from a Schematic Design Phase, consisting of
those drawings illustrating a project’s scale and relationship of components,
to the Design Development Phase, consisting of those drawings and other
documents necessary to fix and describe the size and character of the project
as to architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical systems and
materials. Primary emphasis will be
placed on the selection and dimensional interrelationship between building
systems and their appropriateness, cost and code requirements. Further emphasis will be placed on the
historical comparisons and precedents for similar design elements. This ability to understand the “how to” of
construction is critical to the future practitioners place in the profession.
Course Requirements
Approach and Methods Schematics- Defined by plans, elevations, building sections,
axonometrics including the following:
Parti, Basic Massing; Entrance; Circulation; Services; Module/geometry
utilizing dimensions; Inside/outside.
Criteria to be utilized in Design Development process for the selection
of system/materials: Parti
Reinforcement; Environmental/climate; Wind; Water; Sun; Context/situation;
Construction sequence; Costs, and Codes.

of the different avant-garde movements that contributed to the formation of
Modernism. It looks at the International
Style’s relationship to Art Deco and the totalitarian architecture of the
30’s. Attention is paid to the positions
staked out by critics, historians and the canonical founding figures-Wright,
Mies, Gropius and Le Corbusier. in the mid 70’s by Venturi and others and the
contemporary fascination with architecture as spectacle in the form of museums
by Gehry, Meier and others. Topics include machine vs. organic metaphors,
mass-production, European vs. American ideals, and the impact of war,
mass-culture and new technology.
Students will develop a working vocabulary of terms useful for
discussing 20th century architecture, a familiarity with the ideas
and technologies of the century and skill at reading architectural images and
plans.
