3.00 Credits
This course is intended for persons who are considering the pursuit of a degree in one of the CIAET curriculums or who could benefit from additional instruction in one of those fields. The main objective of this course is to prepare students for success in subsequent required studio courses. Design Studio Basics provides a series of lectures that cover a variety of topics including history, theory, building technology, application, drawing and model building techniques. The associated studio component will introduce students to ideas, principals and methods of solving architectural problems. Course assignments and projects will address and develop observation and drawing skills, model making, individual research on specific architects and buildings, conceptual making of space and form, presentation techniques, class discussion and other basic design skills.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to computer aided drafting standards and programs used in the architectural and interior design professions. It intends to teach the basics of AutoCAD and establish a foundation for the future learning of computer applied drafting and design. Once a basic understanding of the software environment is established, students will produce a series of two-dimensional architectural documents. These drawings will incorporate conventional architectural graphic standards as well as an understanding of how to use Auto-CAD in design development.
-
3.00 Credits
This studio course emphasizes the design process and space planning for modest size facilities. The students will apply color rendering techniques to present interior design solutions. Students will select appropriate materials for various spaces in accordance with accepted design standards. Design issues such as furniture planning and layouts, application of color, and building code and ADA (American with Disabilities Act) considerations are included.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a survey of major historical design periods in interior design from prehistoric to the present. Emphasis is placed on styles and furniture and their relationship to social and political settings, and technological evolvement.
-
3.00 Credits
This design course focuses on the development of complex interior space planning for large commercial/public facilities. Problem solving for both individual and collaborative projects are accomplished through various research methods and programming of client needs. Students will refine both manual and computer generated drawing and rendering techniques. An integrative approach to the design process will include technical issues, budgetary concerns, and code compliance.
-
2.00 Credits
Introductory course designed to expose students to fundamental design skills, 3D problems solving, color theory, perspective drawing and rendering. The course examines specific issues such as format, figure/ground, rhythm, contrast, datum, value, space definition, color theory/rendering, one and two point perspective methods and basic model building.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a course that provides beginning experiences in 3D polygon modeling. It focuses on creating organic and inorganic objects that visually communicate a given mood, emotion, and/or scenario. Students will analyze objects geometrically and use defined processes and techniques to produce these objects for visualization and communication through modeling, lighting, and texturing using polygonal shapes.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a course that presents students with a systematic approach to architectural design. Methods of graphic thinking are introduced as a means of exploring and evaluating issues related to the design process. Architectural form and style are investigated relative to human factors and environmental context. Verbal and graphic communication skills are also refined in the development of student design presentations.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a course that introduces the student to the art of creating cartoon-style animation applicable to industry needs in graphic design, interactive media, the internet, film, and television using Macromedia Flash. The course emphasizes student acquisition production with both cameraless and computer-based techniques.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of methods, systems, and materials used in the design and construction of commercial buildings. An emphasis is placed on the integration of materials and systems used for foundations, envelope construction, and roof systems. An introduction to computer aided design in architecture is provided with hands-on instruction.
