Aims
To develop knowledge and understanding of using CAD applications to produce 2D and 3D architectural drawings
To develop model making skills using traditional methods and materials
Learning Outcomes
1.
Understand the range of software applications available in contemporary architectural technology practice
2.
Apply CAD techniques to a design brief to produce 2D and 3D architectural drawings and perspectives
3.
Prepare a simple physical model using traditional model making skills and techniques.
4.
Describe and analyse design and technology used in practice in relation to selected buildings
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:CAD applications:
- CAD drawing practices using Auto-CAD & Revit
- Printing and plotting of scaled drawings
- Production of presentation drawings with enhanced images.
- Drawing management using CAD applications.
- An introduction to the production of 3D models and perspectives to display a realistic product in order that the viewer can grasp the visual attributes of a design.
- Use of graphical editing programmes (such as Adobe Photoshop) in relation to enhance and modify presentation images.
Design and model-making
- Building analysis
- 3D exploration of buildings
- Traditional model-making
Module Overview:
The aim of this module is to develop your knowledge and understanding of using CAD applications to produce 2D and 3D architectural drawings. This module develops further understanding of drawing techniques developed in semester one, with an additional emphasis on 3D images and perspectives using CAD.
