This two-week workshop will expose participants to the current daylighting simulation models and beyond, by introducing realistic and dynamic assessment methods through hands-on exercises and application to a design project.

Cityscope is a project-based introduction to the contemporary city. "Problem solving in complex (urban) environments" is different than "solving complex problems." As a member of a team, you will learn to assess scenarios for the purpose of formulating social, economic and design strategies to provide humane and sustainable solutions. A visit to New Orleans is planned for spring break 2007. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-001JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Thompson, J.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This class provides the tools necessary for an efficient integration of daylighting issues in the overall design of a building. The fundamentals of daylighting and electric lighting are introduced and their relevance to design decisions emphasized: benefits and availability of daylight, solar radiation and sun course, photometry, vision and color perception, daylighting metrics, visual and thermal comfort, electric lighting. More advanced topics are presented and practiced through the design project and homework assignments, such as primary and advanced lighting design strategies, and design and assessment tools for lighting management. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Architecture/4-430Fall-2006/CourseHome/index.htm Andersen, Marilyne 2007-11-14T11:46:10-05:00 4.430 en-US Architecture Analytical Chemistry Atmospheric Physics and Dynamics lighting management advanced lighting design strategies visual and thermal comfort daylighting metrics vision and color perception photometry sun course solar radiation electric lighting design of a building efficient integration daylighting MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

Students communicate ideas and experiences through various media such as sculpture, installation, performance, and video. Projects evolve through stages of conceptual and material development to final presentation. Lectures, visiting artist presentations, field trips, and readings supplement studio practice, providing an index to the historical, cultural, and environmental forces that affect both development of artistic vision and reception of works of art.
