| ID 451 Interior Design V and ID 452 Interior Design VI |
| Professor: Rula Awwad-Rafferty |
| Course overview: These two courses address sustainability in studio learning and practice. ID 451 is focused on advanced problems in mixed use contract interior design requiring synthesis of related course work into comprehensive design resolution that communicates design impact on sense of place and place making. In Fall 2007, students are working on designing 5 community centers/community places in rural towns around Idaho—Fernwood, Kamiah, Cottonwood, Troy, and Kendrick (participants in the Horizons grant program), and sustainability (environmental, social, economic) is part of the dialogue and goals in all of those five communities. ID 452 is a capstone studio course featuring advanced applications of design theories and processes focusing on complex design issues, synthesis and implementation of previous course work in appropriate student selected projects, from the initial programming through the final complete design documentation and presentation. |

Arch 504 Special Topics: English Green Building Seminar & Study Abroad |
| Professor: Bruce Haglund |
| Course overview: The seminar class was held in Spring 2006 to prepare students for a study abroad experience in the UK during the summer. Students carried out basic research on green building in the UK and helped to plan the itinerary for the studies abroad program. In England, students visited sites; interviewed architects, engineers, and educators; and developed building case studies based on their first-hand experience and research. The culminating event of the course was to attend the Eco-Architecture 2006 Conference (June 14–16) at Wessex Institute, Ashurst Lodge, New Forest near Southhampton, UK. This conference brought together leaders of the sustainable architecture movement from all over the world. |
