Agenda for Week One

Welcome

Welcome to the Fundamentals of Architectural Drafting - ARC 109. This course is designed for the beginning Architecture or Interior Design student. Through this course you will develop the fundamental manual drafting skills that will be needed in your future Architecture/Interior Design classes. You will learn to write and draw like an Architect/Interior Designer.

Architects and Interior Designers communicate their ideas through their drawings. Through this class you will master the techniques needed to successfully communicate your design ideas to your client and you will begin to develop the drawing skills need to produce the drawings used by the contractor to build the finished design.

We will emphasize architectural lettering and linework so that at the end of this 7-week class you will demonstrate mastery of these essential skills.
