Build­ing Tech­nol­ogy III

Building Technology III

In­tro­duc­tion to Ar­chi­tec­ture pro­vides a foun­da­tion for stu­dents en­ter­ing the BArch / BTech pro­gram to de­velop a “vi­sual lit­er­acy” on the built en­vi­ron­ment. By prac­tic­ing the basic skills of sketch­ing, draft­ing, and read­ing about build­ings, and with the op­por­tu­nity to pre­sent their un­der­stand­ing to oth­ers through writ­ten as­sign­ments and ver­bal pre­sen­ta­tions, stu­dents will de­velop meth­ods of rep­re­sent­ing and pre­sent­ing ar­chi­tec­ture ver­bally and graph­i­cally.

Introduction to Architecture provides a foundation for students entering the BArch / BTech program to develop a “visual literacy” on the built environment. By practicing the basic skills of sketching, drafting, and reading about buildings, and with the opportunity to present their understanding to others through written assignments and verbal presentations, students will develop methods of representing and presenting architecture verbally and graphically.
