basic principles of elastic behavior for different materials such as wood, steel, concrete, and composite materials, properties and applications of materials, cross sectional stress and strain behavior in flexure and in shear and torsion, stability of beams and columns, qualitative behavior of combined stresses and fracture in materials
 

thermo-sciences for students primarily interested in architecture & building technology, fundamentals important to energy, ventilation, air conditioning & comfort in buildings, design projects: readings

case studies, publications: courses (sustainability in built environment, green building principles & practices, energy & environmental systems for green buildings, energy efficiency in buildings, technologies for energy efficient buildings)

includes extensive & heavily illustrated lecture notes covering Cairo from time of Alexander until 20th century, organized by major historical periods, glossary of terms: readings, related resources

using rapid prototyping and CAD/CAM devices in a studio environment

first course in structures for architecture undergraduates and for graduate students with degrees in other disciplines: basic concepts in maths and physics, Fundamental concepts in forces motion and material behavior, Behavior and design of (structural elements & principles of connections, basic system types, trusses, cables, arches, frames), Code-based approaches to design

evolving structure of cities and the way that cities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas can be designed and developed, Boston and other American cities studied to see how physical, social, political and economic forces interact to shape and reshape cities over time: readings

technical aspects of classical tradition in architecture that have so far received only sporadic attention, quantification has always been essential component of classical design but actual technical tools whereby quantitative precision was conceived, represented, transmitted & implemented in pre-modern architecture remain mostly unexplored: readings, instructor's preface

uses scale models to design environments orchestrating contrasting material properties & conventional constructional systems to create places fostering specific ways of inhabiting space, demonstrates how architecture differs from other forms of design: projects, gallery of student work
