Architectural Graphics
This course introduces basic
drafting skills and techniques. Emphasis is placed on the use of drafting
equipment, lettering, dimensioning, elevations, construction details, and
actual fixture sizes as related to interior design situations.
Upon completion, students should be
able to skillfully complete working interior drawings utilizing principles of
drafting. Students will be able to understand basic architectural styles and
house design. We will learn to utilize drafting tools, measure rooms, and begin
basic drafting techniques. Students will be able to develop and draft a floor
plan, room elevations, isometrics, and furniture arrangement within a
2-dimensional format.
The
organization of the class presents a logical procedure for understanding basic
interior design.
