A History of Art and Architecture from the Prehistoric Era to the Present

A History of Art and Architecture from the Prehistoric Era to the Present

This course will study the basic materials of construction as well as the theory and practice of building technology. The course will include investigation of the assembly of building components and methods of construction while developing proficiency in both analog and digital drawing building information modeling (BIM) techniques, and professionally presented construction drawing page composition.

This course presents an introduction to basic materials of construction and the fundamental principles of architectural hand drafting and system analysis. The coursework includes weekly lectures, readings, and quizzes focusing on the study of material properties and applications with an emphasis on wood and masonry and shallow foundation systems. In addition, there is a series of architectural drawing assignments that includes surveying existing conditions, development of plans, elevations, sections, and basic details from foundation to roof of a case study structure.

This course introduces students to core concepts in the media field including color theory, design and production terminology, reproduction processes, file formats and substrates. During the semester, students will complete three pages of their own ePortfolio web site, complete a print design project and one video project. Lectures will provide students with a historical perspective of the media field as well as discussing current practices and future trends.

Architectural Design I: Foundations is the first course in the one-year foundation sequence which increases the student’s ability to perceive visual cues, create visual design, formulate concepts, and render ideas in two or three dimensions. Students will use a combination of hand and digital skills to aid in the creation and interpretation of three dimensional objects and space, and the delineation of the same using standard projection systems.
