DRAD 1020 - Architectural Design 2

Credit Hours: 3.00

Prerequisites: DRAD 1010 and DRCG 1140; or high school equivalent with the consent of the program advisor

(formerly DRAD 1140)

This course is the next in sequence of architectural design studio courses which builds upon basic architectural design concepts. Students will experience the design process with an introduction of a small structure through site analysis, program analysis, schematic design sketches and study models of design solutions, presentation of design concept, creation of computer generated preliminary drawings related to residential design and construction. Students will coordinate a completed graphic solution while evaluating various construction systems related to foundation, floor, wall, roof, and various other building components of residential construction with emphasis on energy conservation.

OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will complete a site analysis for residential development.

Objectives:

Identify existing site characteristics in order to determine the best use of the property.
Research property site codes and zoning ordinances.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will analyze program requirements.

Objectives:

Determine who the users of the building will be, what use they will make of the building, what rooms/spaces they need, and any other goals and constraints of the project.
Document residential zoning and building code restrictions.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will create schematic design solutions and design development drawing using the information gathered through research.

Objectives:

Create bubble diagrams showing spatial relationships and circulation.
Develop a design concept.
Select building materials that support the goals of the design solution.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will develop a complete architectural design set for residential projects.

Objectives:

Create a site plan, floor plan, elevations, perspective drawing, and model.

Outcome 5: Upon completion of this course, students will create computer generated drawings.

Objectives:

Coordinate the digital files to illustrate a student solution.

Outcome 6: Upon completion of this course, students will create a course architectural design portfolio.

Objectives:

Present a collection of drawings created in the course.
Identify the portfolio creation process.
