The campus will remain closed until 12 noon Thursday, 02/13/25. Students should log into Canvas for specific class information from their instructors. Please contact event organizers for information on specific activities. Normal operations will resume at 12pm on Thursday.
The certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) offers students the opportunity to gain an understanding of the built environment such that it might add value and focus to a major degree as well as enrich an LTU education in general. The certificate curriculum advances visualization, mapping, spatial analysis, thematic diagrams, and other urban design-supportive GIS-based techniques and skills. Coursework covers methods, theories, principles, practices, and application of GIS in urban design.
The program consists of three subject area components: quantitative methods in urban design and visual communication (theory focus); advanced GIS, urban design methods, and simulation & prototyping (practice focus); and GIS practicum (application).

Advanced representational theory and practice within an architectural context. This coursework will deeply examine contemporary tools, application strategies, representational formats, and presentation methods with increasing complexity and consequence regarding design, technology, and practice. Students will utilize an advanced hybrid of digital and physical tools in the analytical representation of existing works of architecture. Coursework visualizes architecture comprehensively as three-dimensional constructs and environments which become organized into two-dimensional visual information.

The course explores in greater depth several concepts introduced in ARC 5752 (Quantitative Methods in Urban Design). The course addresses spatial problem solving by focusing on both the theoretical/conceptual and practical aspects of GIS modeling and spatial analysis. This class will focus on the use of GIS in urban design, planning, and land use analysis. The class will emphasize studying the
city in the GIS context and usage of GIS to plan for growth in the urban environment. Planning for growth will include the balance of housing, jobs, tax base, utilities, transportation, the natural environment, and the built environment. The class will step through a GlS-based planning procedure for several projects.

Introduction to the theory and practice of information modeling, simulation, prototyping and fabrication within an architectural context. This course will introduce how information is structured and used in multiple levels of design development and implementation and the application of that information in formal and fabrication processes through generative and performative modeling. Students will be introduced to building information modeling and manipulation, parametric modeling, scripting, simulation, and analysis methods, as well as current standards in fabrication workflows.
