Architecture & Design

Welcome To Architecture & Design!

Architecture & Design 1

Course Length: Semester

Prerequisite: None

Course Description: This is a comprehensive hands on course introducing students to the standards, methods, and applications of technical drawing and CAD that form the 2D “language” of the design fields. Areas of emphasis include technical lettering, freehand sketching, problem solving, instrument and computer- aided development of presentation and working drawings as well as orthographic and axonometric projection, dimensioning, sections, geometric construction and the alphabet of lines. Special consideration will be given to the place of these tools in the entire continuum of the creative problem solving process in Engineering, Industrial Design, Architecture, and Interior Design.

Architecture & Design 2

Course Length: Semester

Prerequisite: Final grade of 83 or better in Intro to Architecture & Design 1

Course Description: A continuation of Intro to Architecture and Design 1, this course is a comprehensive introduction to the methods and applications of three-dimensional modeling using CAD systems as well as hand modeling techniques. Emphasis is placed on model making and 3D software such as AutoDesk Revit, Inventor/Fusion 360, and 3D printing as design tools in the creative problem solving process in Engineering, Industrial Design, Architecture, and Interior Design.
