Building science is where architectural design meets the practical realities of intelligent construction. Learning the fundamentals will provide you with a solid technical foundation to help you design buildings that are as durable, efficient, and comfortable as they are beautiful.
About ten years into professional practice as a building scientist, I noticed that my classmates from architecture school — talented men and women whom I knew to be intelligent, creative, and attentive — lacked confidence on the job site. The same often was true when discussing risk and performance with their colleagues. Even when they knew the right approach, they had trouble articulating it, especially when met with opposition from contractors or clients.
With all the demands of professional practice, it can be difficult for architects and architects-in-training to acquire a technical foundation in building science. That is what these classes are about. Imagine discussing how a detail or an assembly works and being able to do it with that open-minded confidence that only comes from real understanding — whether you’re at the drafting table with your colleagues, in a conference room with your clients, or on the job site with your contractor.
It would be my great pleasure to help you to be able to do exactly that.
