Building design projects of increasing complexity and duration are presented. Each project focuses on several specific areas of concentration, such as stairs, site, kitchen, etc., within the broader context of building design. Design conceptualization strategies, the “process” of design, and the development and resolution of specific construction details in both residential and commercial building systems are emphasized.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course:

SLO 1: Drawing Fundamentals Apply fundamental principles of drafting to the preparation of residential and commercial construction drawings, including plans, sections, elevations, schedules, details, and specifications.
SLO 2: Design Conceptualization Demonstrate design conceptualization strategies, the process of design, and the development and resolution of specific construction details in the design of residential and commercial building systems.
SLO 3: Presentation Techniques Employ traditional graphic means, both drawings and models, to illustrate and orally present completed design projects.
