Course Description

Arch 251 Seeing / Arch 252 Measuring Faculty: Melissa Harris Positions: Up to 1 Appointment: 23.7% Freehand studio drawing courses limited to pencil and pen, these introductory classes concentrate upon seeing, describing, and analyzing form through linear graphic means. Though intended primarily for students considering a design-related career, the courses are open to students from any discipline wishing to improve their visual literacy. Arch 251, Seeing, focuses upon understanding the role of line in creating form. Arch 252, Measuring, introduces principles of orthographic and perspective projection. The two courses are each seven weeks in duration, and GSI\xe2\x80\x99s will be hired for both courses. GSI Responsibilities: The GSI participates in the cultivation of student\'s visual literacy and prepares them for future learning in the design realm, particularly for those interested in the field of Architecture. They will actively participate in the student\'s understanding of the material taught during class and provide critical response to the work. The GSIs collaboratively grade the student portfolios at the end of the term. Attend class (6 hours per week) and hold office hours (1 hour/week). During class the GSI provides individual roving critique, elaboration by example (often by drawing) of understanding and clarifying daily objectives. As the course builds exercise by exercise, the GSI should have both a long-term view and a grasp of each assignment. Several days prior to classes starting, a 2-3 hour meeting serves to outline the semester. Prior to class each morning, the GSI is expected to have the technology ready for use. This means arriving to class before it starts. While the students stream in, they might also supervise the pinning up of drawings. Twice there are extended grading periods (varies on size of class, but typically 2-4 hours x 2 per term). In these evaluation sessions, the GSI\xe2\x80\x99s work together and in parallel with the professor assessing, taking notes, recording, and delivering grades and suggestions for improvement to each student individually. GSI\xe2\x80\x99s are also expected to meet with excused absent students to review missed material. (1 hour/week). Regular meetings with instructor to monitor progress, discuss efficacy, and student concerns should take an hour per week. (.5 hour/week) Weekly work commitment will average 7.5 to 9.49 hours. Required Qualifications: GPA 3.0 or above; proficiency with freehand studio-drawing, and ability to communicate about design. Please include in the cover letter the courses taken relevant to hand drawing. Desired Qualifications: GPA 3.5 or above, strong academic record in architectural or art drawing courses.

Arch 357 Architecture, Sustainability & the City Faculty: Jen Maigret Positions: Up to 10 Effort: 23.7%
This undergraduate survey course is an introduction to the design of the built environment through the lens of sustainability. In a collaborative and peer-based environment, we will explore the design of the built environment from the scale of a building to cities, regions, countries, and the planet. We will examine connections between architectural and urban history, theory and practice in relationship to how these have influenced and responded to evolving ideas about sustainability. Case studies of buildings and cities, and of different cultures and periods, will be presented to deepen our understanding of the environmental, economic, socio-cultural, and aesthetic impacts of design and urbanism. We will consider the influential and sometimes conflicting motivations that shape contemporary, sustainable design practices including climate change, ecosystem degradation, resource scarcity and environmental justice. We will also survey the rapidly changing realm of global responses including renewable energy, ecological resilience, resource and water conservation, transportation, high performance buildings, and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. You will learn about sustainability from an interdisciplinary perspective and will be introduced to a range of opportunities for these considerations to improve the livability, mobility, equity, and vibrancy of the public realm through design. GSI Responsibilities: The GSI must attend all lectures, and is responsible for one (MArch/MUD/MURP candidates) to two (PhD candidates), weekly discussion sections.

GSIs are required to hold weekly student hours and to attend one weekly 1.5 hour preparation meeting led by the Instructor. These meetings sometimes occur in the evenings or weekends when scheduling during working hours is not possible. The GSI is expected to contribute to a collaborative teaching and learning environment and coordinate with other GSIs to ensure equity in content and approach across all discussion sections. -The weekly work commitment will average 7.5 to 9.49 hours.

Technologies from \xe2\x80\x98smart\xe2\x80\x99 objects to \xe2\x80\x98smart\xe2\x80\x99 cities are reshaping our world and our selves at an accelerated pace \xe2\x80\x94 radically affecting our homes, workplaces, streets, and neighborhoods. Often, the effects of these transformations are hidden from clear view, occurring in the black box of the algorithm or the board room. This invisibility leads to the misperception that the data and algorithms that underpin digital technologies are neutral or objective; however, it is quite the opposite, as they are entangled with the same systems of oppression and discrimination that disproportionately harm BIPOC communities, those living with low income, and the most vulnerable among us in other aspects of society. This course introduces students to the histories and principles that structure digital technologies and the ethical dilemmas they often pose, and endeavors to more deeply understand the benefits and risks of the digital for the built environment. Students will gain digital literacy \xe2\x80\x93 characterized by a broad understanding of how technology works, its inherent biases and power structures, and its effect on people \xe2\x80\x93 with a commitment to a more healthful, equitable, and just world strengthened by design.

Decision Making Process

We estimate that all positions will be filled, and the applicants notified by May 9, 2023. The percentage of effort for each position is detailed in the posting. Should enrollment warrant, and the GSI agree, an increase in percentage is possible. GSI and Faculty should check in regularly to ensure that the outline on the fraction calculation accurately reflects the effort.

Selection Process

Applicants will be reviewed by the faculty noted on the job description; in cases where the faculty is TBA the chair will review applications in consultation with faculty who teach in that subject area. They will review the cover letter and resume submitted as part of the application. Selection criteria will include:

• Relevant academic experience
• Academic Standing of 3.0 or more
• Professional and well thought out cover letter stating specific skills, and resume indicating the use of those skills. If the applicant has made email or in-person contact with the faculty member or chair about the GSI position, those communications can be considered as representative of the applicant\xe2\x80\x99s communication style.
• Individual faculty may choose to conduct interviews with qualified applicants.

After review of the applicants, Faculty will rank up to four candidates for each GSI position. In addition to selecting their top applicants, faculty can list those applicants whose qualifications are not sufficient to serve as a GSI in the course. The chair will be responsible for matching faculty and student preferences for final GSI assignments. Where there are similarly qualified candidates, the preference is for students who have not had an opportunity to be a GSI at Taubman College.
