| This option introduces the student to research tools in analysis and testing of thermal, lighting, and daylighting environments as well as building systems integration and energy conservation. In the second term, emphasis is placed on the integration of energy conservation concepts during the evolution of an architectural design project. The independent research may focus on topics such as building climatology, passive solar energy utilization, computer applications for thermal analysis, or the interdependence of daylighting and thermal systems. |

| This option introduces the student to research tools for the analysis and testing of material properties, structural behavior and advanced simulation techniques. In the second term, emphasis is placed on research methods preceding an independent research topic. The independent research may focus on topics such as the design of a novel structural system using traditional or advanced materials, assemblies with an emphasis on material properties, a project that integrates advanced simulation techniques in the realization of a concept or the manufacture of prototypes that are tested to verify theoretical analysis. Investigations will typically explore structural typology, morphology, composite materials, non linear behavior of materials and structures such as fabrics. Assemblies may include the study of jointing systems behavior or combined framing and skin actions, durability, environmental performance, as well as fabrication and construction efficiencies. |
