ARCH 121 — Working Drawings I
This course introduces the student to the basics of developing working drawings which include dimensioning, types of lines, symbols, use of architectural and engineering scales, and coordination with related disciplines and engineering. This is reflected in the generation of plans, elevations, and sections with emphasis on sections. Lectures include perspective, isometric, and presentation of work. Lab projects include freehand drawings which consists of plans, elevations, and sections that enable the student to develop the skill of proportion and scale. Lectures and lab work provide hands-on experience for graphic communication to utilize color, texture, and presentation techniques. Introduction to model making uses materials and methods of assembling components which include color, trees, cars, and figures to provide scale. Projects are individual and team presentations. The skills and familiarization of Working Drawings I taken from lectures and labs from ARCH 121 Working Drawings I and ARCH 107 Methods and Materials of Construction are carried into ARCH 122 Working Drawings II where the students combine their skills into producing architectural working drawings.
