This course introduces students to fundamental digital tools for architectural modeling and representation. Students work with software such as SketchUp, Rhino, Adobe Photoshop, and Illustrator to develop conceptual and physical models. The course emphasizes the iterative design process, beginning with digital modeling and continuing through fabrication using 3D printing and laser cutting. Rhino is used primarily for constructing topological and geometric models, with a focus on conventional, non-parametric modeling. Projects are documented and refined into a cohesive portfolio using Photoshop and Illustrator, allowing students to build foundational skills in both digital fabrication and visual communication.
Building Technology III
The mandatory Building Technology course assists architecture students in gaining an understanding of the technical elements involved in constructing a building. This courses explores the integration of architectural design and structural engineering in the development of wide-span and high-rise buildings. It focuses on large-scale structures such as sports arenas, exhibition
