Advance architectural Design
I.
Course Description:
This course provides resources for an introductory course in architectural design. The
course reviews design principles, creating sketches using pencil and paper and
AutoCAD, architectural design using AutoCAD Architecture and Revit Architecture.
II.
Rationale:
This course covers the basics of architectural styles and the layout of floor plans with
emphasis being placed on the three basic areas: living, sleeping and service. Types of
drawings that will be completed include: floor plans, wall sections, stair details,
foundation plans, front and right side elevations, electrical and two-point perspectives.
Mechanical drawing is an asset but not a requirement in taking this class.
III.

Assessment: Activities allow for systematic measurement of the effectiveness of
different teaching techniques and tools in helping students grasp key concepts, skills,
and/or information in a given course. Instructors use data from assessment activities to
modify how the course is taught to continuously improve student understanding and
mastery of course material. Therefore, students should give their best effort to their role
in assessment.
