ARPL 102 Architectural Foundations II: Design Tools
The purpose of this course is to develop the student's visual thinking and communication skills and to introduce systems of architectural representation in various media. Students will develop the ability to represent three-dimensional artifacts and buildings in two dimensions (plan, section, and elevation) and in three dimensions (paraline drawings and perspectives). Representation systems to be investigated will include analog modes (hand drafting, hand drawing, and physical modeling) as well as digital modes (two- and three-dimensional computer graphics). Some diagramming will also be introduced. This is primarily a skills studio not a design studio.
