Prerequisites: ID 100, ID 120, ID 130, ID 131, ID 230 and (ID 125 or ID 235), and (WR 115 and RD 115) or IRW 115 and MTH 20 or equivalent placement.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon completion of this course students should be able to:
- Create professional presentation boards that demonstrate a functional and aesthetically pleasing design solution to a challenging design problem utilizing a variety of drawing types including plan, elevation, and axonometric.
- Create materials boards in formal presentation format that demonstrate the ability to coordinate color, pattern, and texture.
- Create an effective and well-planned design solution to a given design problem using the design concept and process.
- Enhance the design solution and presentation through successful space planning concepts, furniture planning, product research, and rendering techniques.
Course Activities and Design
This course will be presented by means of lecture, discussion, demonstrations, and guest lecturers. The student’s grade will be determined by a combination of studio exercises, testing, and class participation.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
- Create a set of formal presentation boards that demonstrate a well-designed solution to a challenging problem utilizing plan, elevation, and axonometric drawings; material boards; simple black and white rendering techniques; matting and other professional techniques to communicate ideas and design solutions.
- Participate in informal and formal class design reviews/critiques to enhance design awareness and communication skills.
- Participate in, and contribute to, all class discussions.
- Complete practice sheets of hand written architectural lettering to enhance drawings and presentations.
