- The Skin and Personality: Architectural design fundamentals, including building envelope, zoning and building codes, vertical transportation, area calculations, parking, and site considerations.
- The Organs and Brain: An overview of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and building control systems that keep a building running efficiently.
- The Skeleton: Insights into structural systems that support and shape commercial buildings.
