| DESCRIPTION | Study-unit Aims: - Development of Basic Skills in Architectural Representation; - Foundations and Application of Descriptive Geometry; - Emphasis on two-dimensional representation of three-dimensional forms; - Development of basic skills in architectural design drawing and modeling. Learning Outcomes: - Ability to employ appropriate representational media, including computer technology, to convey essential formal elements of a three-dimensional form, or groups of forms, on two-dimensions; - Ability to use drawings to represent three-dimensional forms, by constructing orthographic projections (plans, sections, elevations), perspective, axonometric and other formal methods of representation; - Ability to use and understand symbology, texture and scale on drawings; - Ability to represent construction details, using standard styles and nomenclature; - Ability to measure up a building or an area of land, and to represent it on a drawing, using standard representation techniques.
