Course Description |
Students will begin to
apply their CAD knowledge to detailing and construction drawings. There
will be typical elements of historic interiors and adoption of decorative
exterior vocabulary for interior applications. Students should try to
develop details for a concurrent studio project while using the computer
as the design tool. Workload per week: two hours of lecture, four hours of
studio and six hours of homework. Prerequisites: ID 107 (Architectural
Drawing), One semester of Art History
or architecture History. | ||||||||||||||
|
Course Goals |
ID 314
is a follow-up course to ID 107 (Architectural Drawing). It is an intensive study in the
use of Computer Aided Design and Drafting for Interior Design. This course familiarizes the
student with interior design uses of architectural CADD software, digital
imaging, productivity techniques, 3D modeling, and CADD rendering
techniques. (SketchUp,
AutoCAD, ArchitecturalDesktop, Viz, CorelDraw, PhotoShop). This is an intermediate CADD
Course. The instructor
assumes the students enrolled in this course already know the essential
concepts of CADD and have basic skills in the use of ADT. During the semester students will
be exposed to new application software (SketchUp, Viz, etc.) They will explore more advanced
concepts of modeling, CADD productivity, 3D rendering, and alternative
CADD options. | ||||||||||||||
|
Student Learning Objectives |
This course
will enhance the students understanding of designing 3D spaces. They will further learn how to
create construction documents (plans, sections, elevations, and details)
and presentation boards. In
addition they will be exposed to principles of computer generated
perspective visualization and animation to augment their work in other
design courses. Students will
become familiar with CADD systems, and the other computer based tools used
by architects and interior designers, and the skills and concepts for
their use. Student Learning
Outcomes - using the
computer as a design and technical tool - functional
details - analysis - problem
solving skills - methodology - special composition - special
hierarchy - basic
building codes - to be
introduced to various presentation methods and gaining skill in putting
together a graphic presentation of a design
solution | ||||||||||||||
|
Instructional Methods |
The
course will be a collaboration of various sketch problems that allow the
student to develop the appropriate skills and a strong foundation that is
essential to being a designer. | ||||||||||||||

Students are highly encouraged to
continue to explore the many features of the programs using the video
tutorials of SketchUp that reside on the server. They can also access the Autodesk
Learning Assistant, provided as an interactive tutorial on each
workstation. This course will
enhance the students understanding of conceptual (SketchUp) and advanced CADD
operations (radiosity
renderings) for design of 2D/
3D spaces, and will allow them to fine-tune principals of perspective and
visualization to augment their work in other design
courses. | ||||||||||||||
