AAD 475 — Thesis (Integration) Units: 3
This course offers advanced instruction in architectural graphics, visual communication, and representation techniques to support the second-term architectural thesis studio ( AAD 485 ). Emphasis is placed on developing sophisticated visual and digital skills necessary to convey complex design ideas, iterative development, and final thesis outcomes. Students will explore a range of communication techniques, including architectural drawing, diagramming, 3D modeling, rendering, and animation, utilizing contemporary digital presentation platforms. The course also addresses graphical layout, curation, and strategies for effectively presenting design work to professional audiences. In close coordination with AAD 485 , students apply these skills to produce coherent, high-quality visual documentation that enhances and complements their thesis projects.
