Lecture #1
Discussion:
In Lecture #1 discuss the importance of design in a building. Speak both to the creative elements of architecture and the engineering elements of architecture.
Class Questions/Prompts:
The Essential Art Form One of the basic human needs is shelter. Some theorists make distinctions between architecture and mere shelters. Are all buildings considered architecture? Is only architecture considered an art form? When are buildings considered an art form and when are buildings not considered an art form?
Exercise #1
1. Analysis
a. Have students make observations on materials, methods, cultural and historical context.
2. Compare and Contrast

Discussion:
In Lecture #2 discuss architectural building materials and methods. Follow the texts structure in exploring materials and methods. Use examples from life and images from the text.
Class Questions/Prompts:
Building Materials Identify the structural construction techniques that could be used in each of the following construction techniques: Earth/Clay/Brick, Stone, Wood, Iron and Glass, Steel and Glass, and Reinforced Concrete. Why are the construction techniques unique to the specific materials?
The Skyscraper The Builders: Marvels of Engineering states that the skyscraper had its origins in Chicago in the late 19th century, after the great Chicago fire. This was a result of the presence of great engineers, a good economy, and premium urban space. Some important early Chicago architects/skyscrapers are William Le Baron Jenney’s Leiter Building and Home Insurance Building, John Root’s Rand-McNally Building and Monadnock Building, the Tacoma Building by Holabird and Roche, and Louis Sullivan. These early buildings only had between 10 to 20 stories, small in today’s standards for skyscrapers and smaller than the Eiffel Tower, but very innovative, inspiring the high rises of today. The United States at one time was home to the tallest buildings in the world, including Chicago’s Sears Tower at 1,732 feet and the Empire State Building in New York City at 1,250 feet. Today, construction on the Burj Dubai will be completed in 2009, making it the tallest building at over 2,600 feet. What made the skyscraper possible? Discuss all the engineering developments that made it possible, including the elevator.

THE SOLDIER'S DOG.
DID you ever see a dog with a coat on? I am going to tell you about one who was a great traveller. I think you will say it was a remarkable dog, and will not be surprised that Frank was very proud of her.
But first I must tell you who Frank was, and where he lived.
In the beautiful village of W—, a few miles from the city of Boston, there was a lovely cottage almost covered with woodbine, which had been trained over the walls. In this
