This seminar is dedicated to the ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL as a confluence of design intenon, human engagement and building performance. It examines the intertwined networks of material sourcing, component fabricaon, craſt and construcon assemblies. We will seek to understand what gets lost and what is gained in the inevitable translaons from drawing to building, and how we might benefit from both.

This seminar is dedicated to the ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL as a confluence of design intention, human engagement and building performance. It examines the intertwined networks of material sourcing, component fabrication, craft and construction assemblies. We will seek to understand what gets lost and what is gained in the inevitable translations from drawing to building, and how we might benefit from both. The seminar will provide the background, structure and support for individual student research into detail conditions that draw from historical and vernacular precedents and contemporary material and fabrication processes.

Wednesdays 1:00-4:00 pm Room 2108

Presentations, Readings and Discussion: These meetings will explore a concise selection of historic and contemporary architectural detail conditions as the mediators between design intentions, materials and building engaging the following detail conditions:_Material Expression. Masonry and Stone Systems, Waterproofing and Ventilation_Structural Details in Steel, Concrete, Wood, Plastics._Material Joints: Exterior Cladding systems. Interior Finish Systems._Surfaces: Continuities and Seams. Exterior material surfaces and fabrication, Glass System Details_Details as Non-Details. Abstractions and Disturbances_Dissonant Elements.
