three and four week problems of the design of small buildings and decorative
architectural composition with especial emphasis on methods of studies, theories
and elements of architecture, and required reading. Individual drafting room
criticism, occasional lectures and general criticisms. Library research and required
reading. Fee, $15.00. (B.S. credit in Architecture only.)
Professor Campbell.
Architectural Design B2: Architectural Design B1 prerequisite.—The
problems of architectural design of the Class B grade of the Beaux-Arts Institute
of Design are taken unless the University Calendar does not permit, in which
case, local design problems are substituted. Individual criticism, followed by
local judgment and judgment of the best problems by the B. A. I. D. jury in
competition with other schools of architecture. Fee $15.00. (B.S. credit in
Architecture only.)
Assistant Professor Disque.
Architectural Design B3: Architectural Design B2 prerequisite.—The problems
of the Class A grade of the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design for those selected
for ability to undertake them. The remainder of the class must acquire
their six values required in the Institute's Class B grade according to their
regulations before entering Class A. Fee $15.00. (B.S. credit in Architecture
only.)
Professor Campbell.
Architectural Design B4: Architectural Design B2 prerequisite.—A course
in the design of less monumental buildings than given under Design B3; in general
a course in the design of domestic architecture, with required reading on
related topics such as landscape architecture, and interior design. At least one interior
design problem of the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design and one archaeology
problem that relates to domestic architecture must be taken where their calendar
and the University's Calendar permit. This course is required of an architectural
student whom the design faculty judge, after completion of Architectural Design
B2, as not having shown enough ability to enter Class A Competition of
the Beaux-Art Institute of Design. The student, if he prefers, may continue in
Class B design until he regularly acquires enough Class B values (six) of that
Institute to regularly enter Class A at any time in his fourth year in the University
School. The student in this class must acquire certain ability in design
which will normally take all of the student's time not otherwise devoted to other
required subjects, normal physical exercise, during the week-ends and extensive
extra work week-ends at the conclusion of major problems, five times a school
year. Fee, $15.00. (B.S. credit in Architecture only.)
Assistant Professor Disque.

of working drawings and specifications for more complex structures than those
studied in the previous course. Two lectures and four hours of drawing each
week. (B.S. credit in Architecture only.)
Assistant Professor Makielski.
Re-inforced Concrete Design: Architectural Construction B2 prerequisite.—

hours of classroom exercises each week of the first term, fourth year. (B.S.
credit in Architecture only.)
Assistant Professor Makielski.

Architectural Building and Equipment: The School of Art and Architecture
is housed in Fayerweather Hall, formerly the old gymnasium. The
main gymnasium floor has been converted into faculty offices and a large
drafting room for instruction in architectural drawing and design. Over the
offices is a balcony arranged for group criticisms, judgment of student drawings
and small exhibitions. The ground floor is occupied by two studios for
water-colour and freehand drawing work, the Fine Arts Library, a small
classroom and business office. The large classes have their lectures and classroom
exercises in other University buildings.
The library contains three thousand books and bound periodicals on painting,
sculpture, architecture and the related minor arts. Additional books on
philosophy of art, archaeology, the theatrical and musical arts are in other
school libraries. The best of American and European architectural and art
for History of Art lectures is available. The School owns an ample
collection of plaster casts and still-life objects necessary for teaching freehand
drawing and water-colour as well as equipment for instruction in various black
and white mediums. A gift by John Barton Payne of etchings by masters
is owned by the University. A permanent collection of architectural drawings
and water-colours for student inspiration is exhibited on walls. All the
printed documents relating to Virginia Colonial Architecture are on the library
shelves and a rapidly increasing collection of photographs on the same subject
is being formed. Opportunities for original research in Virginia Colonial and
Classical Revival Architecture are afforded by the neighborhood surrounding
Charlottesville.
