DRAD 2030 - Architectural Design 3

Credit Hours: 3.00

Prerequisites: DRAD 1010 and DRCG 1140; or consent of the program advisor

(formerly DRAD 2090)

This course builds on the phases of the design process and construction and focuses on a larger scale commercial project with added integrated systems within environmental design, building code and program requirements, interior space relationships and circulation, study of materials selected for interior and exterior application, and introduction to the various building systems. Students will present hand sketch design solutions and create a BIM model to build upon throughout the phases of design and construction to complete a set of architectural drawings of their design solutions.

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

Objectives:

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

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will create a building code analysis.

Objectives:

Research current building codes.
Adhere to the current barrier-free design and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for accessible design.

Outcome 3: 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 commercial zoning and building code restrictions.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will create schematic design solutions and design development drawings 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 commercial projects.

Objectives:

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

Outcome 5: Upon completion of this course, students will create Building Information Modeling (BIM) 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.
