15. Requirements and Planning of Buildings.—A study of the varied requirements of buildings erected for the more important purposes, with exercises in making sketch plans for selected programs. Block plans, grouping of parts, light courts, communications, economical and durable construction, approximate cost and rentals, etc. Lectures, with illustrations and references to architectural library and cabinet. Winter term, full study. Professor RICHER. Required: Architecture 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13. 16. Architectural Designing (Residences).—Practice in design and the study of the requirements of dwellings of moderate size are the objects of the study. Several typical plans are selected as bases, and numerous changes suggested, which usually produce radical changes in the design. The student is also encouraged to make working drawings for actual clients, criticisms and suggestions being freely made to him. The work is limited to residences, since this class of buildings is likely to afford the graduate his first opportunity for independent original work, and practice in satisfying their requirements is considered to be more valuable than the study of theoretical or impossible problems. The designing of a convenient, attractive dwelling, to cost a limited amount, is really a quite difficult problem, requiring more time and thought than any other building of equal cost. Gibson's Convenient Houses. City and Country Houses. Winter term, full study. Assistant Professor

WHITE.

Required: Architecture 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 20. 17. Architectural Designing, (Problems) —Since students often find considerable difficulty when commencing to express their ideas in designs, several simple problems are first given, such as a tower, a store with flats over it, a small library, etc , five being studied usually during the term. Each student makes sketches at small scale, which are criticised and modified untilapproved, then worked out in plans, elevations, and details, one elevation being washed to show color or shade effects. The object is to obtain as much practice in original design as possible; and in the making of rapid and effective sketches, suitable for submission to a client or employer. Spring term, full study. Assistant Professor WHITE. Required: Architecture 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9; io, 12, 13, 20.
