Architectural Design 1(CITEP)
Course Overview / Details
Students will learn how to recognize and apply the principles of design in both 2D and 3D using the appropriate mechanical tools. Students will follow the stages of the design process to create a scaled structural project from beginning to end while becoming familiar with and executing architectural plans, simple sections, elevations, axonometric views and models. Students will go on field trips to observe under construction and completed projects to view examples of principles of design and art.
