Course Description

This course offers students the opportunity to use and understand 2-D and 3-D information about critical building assembly details used in commercial projects to produce construction documents, design and develop custom details, coordinate specification information, and revise existing details to conform to current architecture engineering and construction industry standards. Students use hand drawn, 2-D digital and 3-D digital tools interactively to prepare clearly drawn graphic details, assemble accurate information for coordination with other parts of the building design, specify materials, and develop prototype details to address unique construction conditions. Students are encouraged to explore personal areas of interest within the course objectives.
