Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of geometry, drafting, and descriptive geometry for spatial visualization in architecture—both analog and digital methods. Students explore the potential of drafting in contemporary architecture and, from a historical perspective, how the role of drawings has changed since the Renaissance, especially since the twentieth-century introduction of digital representational tools for design (2D drafting and 3D modeling, or CAD) and manufacturing (CAM). In addition to lectures, the course is divided into three exercises:

Exercise 1: From physical object and analog notation to digital drawing;

Exercise 2: Manipulation of drawings and 3D models;

Exercise 3: Atmosphere in architectural presentations.

(Tools: AdobeCreative Suite, Rhino, AutoCAD, laser cutter. Can vary from year to year.)
