FALL SEMESTER 2019 – UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY

COURSE DESCRIPTION                                

This course is structured to introduce the vocabulary, principles, and process of architectural representation in both a hands-on and digital drawing environment. The tools and conventions of this centuries-old practice are now being radically altered by digital techniques and capabilities—image editing, vector graphics, CAD, 3D modeling, BIM, digital fabrication and simulation, and the construction of virtual environments among others.
