Course Statement: Architectural Design I & II are one semester courses offered to second through fourth year students. Architectural Design I is an introduction to basic drafting techniques as a means of graphic communication. The principles of defining shape and size are studied utilizing computer aided drafting techniques. Activities deal with precise, applied graphic representation including precision and limit dimensioning associated with a variety of industrial situations. Architectural Design II is an extension of material covered in the first part. Emphasis on 3 dimension work, welding drawings, steel fabrication (welding, etc), as well as gaining familiarity with AutoCad.
Architectural drafting is the universal language of the industrial world. It is the means by which ideas and information concerning the design, manufacture, construction or erection of objects of all kinds are recorded and given to others. Architectural drafting is a language, a graphic language meant to communicate ideas. We live in a highly industrialized society that is ever changing.
Architectural drafting is one of its most important languages and the technology student must
therefore have an understanding and appreciation of this type of technical drawing. Upon successful completion of the course each student will be able to:
1. comprehend the principles and functions of architectural design as a means of communication.
a. as an universal language, technical drafting is possible to interpret in any language due to
the use of common symbols.
b. as an industrial language, those involved from design to floor production use technical
drafting to create production.
2. comprehend the principles of projection as utilized in technical drafting activities.
3. read and understand basic technical drawings.
4. comprehend the basic dimensioning techniques used in architectural design.
Course Requirements for Architectural Design I:
Assignments required in the course include the following:
1) Sketching basics
2) Identification of drafting equipment
3) A mastery of drafting techniques that will carry over to computer aided applications
4) A mastery of basic geometric construction
5) Learning correct lettering in preparation for class projects
6) Composing multiview drawings to become more attuned to the language of industry
7) Creating dimensions in order to describe 2D drawings
8) Describe both sectional and auxillary views in order to speak "technicalanguage"
9) Develop residential plans for personal use
Architectural Design II Objectives:
1) Three dimensional principles
2)Welding symbol comprehension and application (designing hmv, other object and fabrication)
3) Gaining working knowledge of AutoCad, Autodesk Mechanical Design
4) Increasing knowledge and appreciation of Architecture
