SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to enhance students’ ability, which is developed in the first and second years of their education, to use computer as a means for architectural drawing and representation.
Course Content: Introduction to the opportunities provided by the use of information and communication technologies in architectural design processes and architectural education; study of digital drawing and representation techniques; rendering and animation and their mix-use for two and three dimensional drawings; introduction to contemporary approaches to computer aided design.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Has knowledge about digital drawing and presentation methods and techniques.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Uses related software programs.
  2) Develops conceptual and presentation drawings and models using complex tools.
  3) Express design ideas through digital drawings.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
  1) Understands the basic principles of using the computer as a design tool.
