TR This course discusses and examines the processes of deterioration of historic buildings. Students will be able to methodically examine, analyze common problems and develop solutions that will be structurally, historically and economically valid.
MW This course will focus on the traditional building styles found throughout the United States. Topics will include regions of construction and materials, time periods, prominent architects, as well as the theory and purpose behind various architectural styles.

Examination of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and insulation systems: their development and applications, and approaches to upgrading, adaptation, and restoration of period systems. Methods of unobtrusively inserting systems into historic buildings are presented. Techniques are applied in the lab and on site when applicable. LEED standards will be reviewed.

An examination of the various materials usedto provide roof and floor coverings in historic
residential and commercial buildings. Slate,
wood shingle, clay tile, composite shingle, metal
panels, and built-up roofs will be examined. Floor
cloths, carpets, terrazzo, ceramic, linoleum,
and hardwood techniques like marquetry and
parquetry will be examined. In addition, alternate
sustainable materials for each system will be
discussed. Installation, repair, deterioration
problems, and maintenance concerns will be the
emphasis of each material.

TR This course is a study of stone, brick, terracotta, cement, mortar and grout. The focus will be what causes these materials to fail, how to stabalize them, proper cleaning and repairs. Emphasis on how this is important to preservation and restoration will be covered. This course also studies plasters and gypsum wall board products. The focus will be on the common problems causing these materials to fail, and common installation techniques. Topics to include a typical plaster installation, and producing molded plaster architectural elements i.e. ceiling medallions.
