Basic Design II

This course of Basic Design II builds on its pre-requisite “Basic Design I” to expand student’s skills in architectural representation and simple design. It provides an expanded introduction to more complex design and accompanying representational techniques, including various types of three dimensional drawings, renderings, and diagrams. Design principles are emphasized along with visual representation. After completing this course, student will be able to produce Architectural Drawings and Three-dimensional models.

Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

i. Standard architectural drawings.

ii. A multitude of visual representation techniques, including rendering techniques.

iii. Expanded architectural design principles.

iv. Develop graphically-pleasing and moderately complex representational drawings.

v. Represent more complex forms in communicable 2 & 3 dimensional drawings.

vi. Generate balanced basic designs and compositions on a larger scale.

vii. Accurately represent complex forms in two and three-dimensional drawings.

viii. Apply a variety of techniques to develop presentation-quality drawings.

ix. Develop individual designs using a multitude of design principles.

x. Explore creative techniques beyond what is dictated in class.
