SARC 1500 courses are 1-credit seminars capped at 20 first-year students, all of whom are assigned to the instructor as advisees. They are topically focused on an area identified by the faculty member; they also include a significant advising component centered on undergraduate issues (e.g., choosing a major, study abroad opportunities, undergraduate research, etc.).

Design Research Journal I is an independently driven course focused on the conceptualization and production of a student-developed journal, Lunch. A small team of student editors create a new volume within the journal series, focused on a theme of their selection. It runs as three consecutive courses for a total of 3 credits. SARC 5130 includes thematic development, literature review, outreach, editorial roles, and submission process.
Design Research Journal II is an independently driven course focused on the conceptualization and production of a student-developed journal, Lunch. A small team of student editors create a new volume within the journal series, focused on a theme of their selection. It runs as three consecutive courses for a total of 3 credits. SARC 5131 includes development of the journal¿s structure, selection of submissions, and editorial feedback to authors.

Thinking with Images. People have been looking at data for centuries -- with their eyes -- to discover patterns, meaning, and insight into the most important challenges of their time. This course teaches visual and spatial thinking coupled with visual data tools and interactive web coding to envision information. Far beyond plotting, finding ways to respond to complex problems, we will study and make useful, compelling, and beautiful tools to see.

This course acts an asynchronous reflection and skill-building career development program following an experiential learning opportunity (internship, research, externship) outside of UVA. Students will report and reflect on their experiences within professional practice and in their specific discipline. This course can be used to fulfill requirements for CPT (Curricular Practical Training) Employment.
Independent research on topics selected by individual students in consultation with a faculty advisor
This is a foundational course introducing the field of architecture and urbanism as it has been historically constructed; it investigates the formulation of canons, contrarian practices, and narratives that frame discourses and practices today. The objectives are to understand the genealogies of the modern tradition, establish a knowledge of the disciplinary milestones, and to articulate critical theoretical frameworks.
We explore the logic model as a framework for analyzing the health impact of built environments in evidence-based practices of design. The logic model is a tool for synthesizing and visualizing causal pathways that lead to health outcomes. Students learn to conduct a literature review, diagram data, visualize environments, and develop logic models of key buildings and urban landscapes. The graduate course will have additional course requirements.
The Design Computation sequence introduces computational thinking and design in the context of long-standing architectural technologies. Design Computation 1 focuses on computational fundamentals, spatial structures, and associative modeling
The Design Computation sequence introduces computational thinking and design in the context of long-standing architectural technologies. Design Computation 2 focuses on cartography, the visual display of information, and spatial data analytics.
This course provides a framework for the comparison of different theories of knowledge relevant to the School of Architecture's four disciplines through a comparative study of research methods in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. The course's goal is to develop critical thinking as the basis for considering the value of specific research questions and to provide a link between research questions and the methods used to explore them.
The shaping, production and analysis of the constructed environment has ethical, political and aesthetic implications that are often inextricably related. Ethics, Politics, and Aesthetics is an interdisciplinary theory course that examines major issues and methodologies in twentieth century theories of history, production, time, space and representation: including critical theory, phenomenology, semiotics, post-structuralism and psychoanalysis.

The research colloquium focuses on individual research, methods and project development. The course provides a forum for the interaction and learning among graduate students from various disciplines, and at different stages in the progress of research. The objective is for students to learn how to articulate their inquiry, and to critically question and compare their own research and methods of inquiry to those found in other disciplines.
