2020 Spring | Department of Architecture | 41872 | Architecture and Human Behavior | Architecture major only Architecture is about built environment but in the end it is for creation of space for human experience. If we think about our personal health, for example diet, we focus on food and exercise. We question if the built environment affect how we eat and exercise whether people realized its impact or not. How stairs are located in a building influence how much people use stairs instead of elevators. How we design urban environment affect how much people walk everyday and what they eat. In addition to biological health, the built environment also affect social health. Architecture is known to affect how people meet by creating places such as sqaures. | 3 |
2020 Spring | Department of Architecture | 41677 | Building System | Architecture major only This course will focus on the art of building construction seen from the architect's point of view. It is rooted in both a fundamental knowledge of building techniques and a study of the significance of materials, structure, and construction to larger architectural ideas. The aim of the course is to understand the fundamentals of building technology as used in architectural practice. Technology and systems are hence understood in this course as a tool that complements and reinforces design decisions, rather than as an independent engineering effort. Three major parts of building system will be covered: Structural, Mechanical, and Environmental. The area of study will also branch out into the field of Project management and Sustainable energy. Interwoven throughout the course will be a series of topics to fuse your understanding of design, history, theory, and building technology. This course shall explore how architecture unites material, form, and performance in construction to embody meaning in the design of selected buildings. We will analyze case studies of existing buildings to exemplify the art of building in practice. There will also be a prevalent subtext that will pervade this course: the ethical responsibility of an architect in relationship to the environment, economics, and the law as he/she is making construction choices. | 3 |

2020 Spring | Department of International Relations | 15228 | Politics in the Age of Migration | International migration is transforming politics, economies, and social networks around the world. Approximately 244 million people are living outside their country of birth. Increasing number of migrants and widening regional areas of their residence throw political challenges to nation-states such as controlling borders, drawing lines of citizenship, and integrating foreigners into host-societies. However, until recently, political science has paid little attention to international migration. Even though the role of states is essential to fully understand international migration process, the researches on international migration are not sufficiently integrated into the mainstream political science. Therefore, the goal of this course is to synthesize theoretical perspectives in political science with three types of migration regimes. The course will be composed of theoretical part and case studies. In the first part, the course will cover theories of migration and political science explanations for immigration policy-making process. The second part of the course, the case studies will be divided into three components. The first groups of the case studies will be traditional countries of immigration, which means that immigration was a fundamental part of the nation-building in those countries. The course will deal with the United States and Canada. The second clusters will be reluctant countries of immigration. Although those countries have denied to be called as ‘immigration states,’ they have experienced the massive immigration and still struggle to solve the social and political problems caused by international migration. The course will pick up France and Germany for this part. The third groups will be latecomers to immigration. Those countries recently have begun to import significant numbers of migrant workers due to low birth-rate and demands from labor market to sustain rapid economic growth. Japan and Korea will be categorized into this cluster. Finally, the course will examine the new terrain of international migration such as refugees, security, development, and international cooperation on migration. The students will have opportunities to apply the theoretical frames to these cases, and to assess what best explains the cases. | 3 |
