The Architectural Design Major… features architecture design studios that provide a unique learning experience for students from many disciplines. Majors can also try an internship in an architectural firm for credit.

Studio Courses for Winter 2006-07:

CEE 130: Architectural Design, TTh 3:15-5:05

CEE 137A: Form and Structure, MW 4:15-6:05

CEE 31: Accessing Architecture Through Drawing, TTh 1:15-3:05

After a long absence, a fully-fledged program in architecture has returned to Stanford. The increasingly popular Architectural Design Program, which was officially launched in November 2004, had 13 majors within the first five months. In June 2006, a pioneering group of three graduates received the first BS in Engineering degrees with a field of study of Architectural Design. Ten seniors are expected to graduate from the Program in June 2007. Currently, the Program has 26 majors, and it is still growing.

One of the key themes of the new program is sustainability. Students learn to develop solutions that integrate the diverse elements that sustainability demands. Through coursework and independent projects, students become familiar with central ideas linked to energy systems, ecologically friendly building materials, water conservation, and indoor air quality. The emphasis on green architecture is also manifested in the new Green Dorm, a proposed Stanford dormitory that students themselves are helping to design. Central to design for sustainability is software that will be available in the new studio as well as other accessible computer clusters.

The increased interest that students have in taking architecture studio classes has led to a need for increased studio space, and this will be accommodated in the proposed Energy and Environment Building (slated for completion Dec. 2007). The Program has plans to respond to student needs by creating a complex of spaces to house a new design studio as well as communal work spaces to be shared by architecture students and students specializing in structural engineering and construction management. The integration of architecture, structures and construction is central to the vision of the new program, as is the concept of having Stanford architecture students immersed in path breaking green architecture practices.

GUEST ARCHITECTS TEACHING A STUDIO THIS WINTER QUARTER 06-07!!!!

WINTER QUARTER- NEW INTERMEDIATE LEVEL


ARCHITECTURE STUDIO

CEE 137A: FORM AND STRUCTURE, MW, 4:15-6:05,
(4 units), Terman 101, Haesloop and Hastrup

Prerequisites- CEE 31(Q) and CEE 130

This studio concentrates on a building of intermediate complexity. The focus of the class is on the articulation and integration of structure, form, site, and program. Special attention is given to the development of a schematic design in the context of site topography and structural systems.

• Eric Haesloop is a principal of Turnbull Griffin Haesloop, a San Francisco based architecture firm. Turnbull Griffin Haesloop is a firm concerned with establishing a “sense of place” inspired specifically by each individual site and client. A graduate of Yale School of Architecture, Eric is a LEED accredited professional and has extensive design experience in the Bay Area.
• Stefan Hastrup is an associate at Turnbull Griffin Haesloop, a Berkeley based architecture firm. A graduate of Yale School of Design, Stefan also has extensive design experience in the Bay Area including the Visual Arts Museum and Performance Forum at Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco, and the renovation and expansion of the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts on the Stanford Campus.
