(see references here: https://uwaterloo.ca/engineering/about/territorial-acknowledgement) Course Description:This is a study of the more advanced aspects of building construction, dealing with the intrinsic connection between conceptual design and technological aspects of a building’s structural materiality: reinforced concrete, precast and prestressed concrete, steel framing systems; building envelope: building science, curtain walls, window walls, glazing and roofing systems; fire protective design and the evolution of an industrialized method of designing and assembling buildings. Students will The term’s
knowledge will focus on a major design project that requires the students
to design and detail a steel structure. This term’s project will

GLASS, GLAZING, WINDOWS AND CURTAIN WALL ADDITIONAL READING: Window selection tool (scroll to the bottom for some Canadian cities): http://www.efficientwindows.org/selection.cfm You need to figure out how to log into Building Green Suite. This is an amazing resource that we subscribe to and has valuable information. We have a subscription to this through our library. Just go the the Research Databases page http://journal-indexes.uwaterloo.ca/ and click on the letter B or look under "Architecture" and choose Building Green Suite. Remember to login to the library site https://login.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca/login first if working outside of the School building to access the full database. I want you to find this article on Building Green Suite and read it please. It covers many aspects of window selection that are not covered at all in Allen. It is called "Choosing Windows: Looking Through the Options". I suspect you need to actually log in to make this link work. http://www.buildinggreen.com.proxy.lib.uwaterloo.ca/auth/article.cfm/2011/1/27/Choosing-Windows-Looking-Through-the-Options/ |

| Avoidance of Academic Offenses |
Winter 2023 COVID-19 Special Statement Given the continuously evolving situation around COVID-19, students are to refer to the University of Waterloo’s developing information resource page (https://uwaterloo.ca/coronavirus/) for up-to-date information on academic updates, health services, important dates, co-op, accommodation rules and other university level responses to COVID-19. Self declaration of illness form: https://uwaterloo.ca/quest/help/students/how-do-i/self-declare-absence-undergraduate-students Mental Health Support All of us need a support system. We encourage you to seek out mental health supports when they are needed. Please reach out to Campus Wellness (https://uwaterloo.ca/campus-wellness/) and Counselling Services (https://uwaterloo.ca/campus-wellness/counselling-services). We understand that these circumstances can be troubling, and you may need to speak with someone for emotional support. Good2Talk (https://good2talk.ca/) is a post-secondary student helpline based in Ontario, Canada that is available to all students. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Commitment At the School of Architecture, we are committed to foster and support equity, diversity and inclusion. We recognize however, that discrimination does occur, sometimes through an isolated act, but also through practices and policies that must be changed. If you experience discrimination, micro-aggression, or other forms of racism, sexism, discrimination against LGBTQ2S+, or disability, there are different pathways to report them: A) If you feel comfortable bringing this up directly with the faculty, staff or student who has said or done something offensive, we invite you, or a friend, to speak directly with this person. People make mistakes and dealing them directly in the present may be the most effective means of addressing the issue. B) you can reach out to either the undergraduate (Undergraduate Office or Terri Boake ), graduate office (Tina Davidson, Robert Jan van Pelt), or director (Maya Przybylski). If you contact any of these people in confidence, they are bound to preserve your anonymity and follow up on your report. C) You may also choose to report centrally to the Equity Office. The Equity Office can be reached by emailing equity@uwaterloo.ca. More information on the functions and services of the equity office can be found here: https://uwaterloo.ca/human-rights-equity-inclusion/about/equity-office. Academic
Integrity:To
create and promote a culture of academic integrity, the behaviour
of all members of the University of Waterloo is based on honesty,
trust, fairness, respect and responsibility. Note for students with disabilities: The Office for Persons with Disabilities (OPD), located in Needles Hall, Room 1132, collaborates with all academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities without compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic accommodations to lessen the impact of your disability, please register with the OPD at the beginning of each academic term. Once registered with OPD, please meet with the professor, in confidence, during my office hours to discuss your needs. Professors cannot accommodate without the authority of the OPD. |
