Architectural Visual Communication 2

Catalog description

This course introduces advanced two and three dimensional CAD/CAM (computer aided drawing and modeling systems), presentation drawing and diagrams, rendering and post production techniques, and animation using various software platforms. Students experiment with interpretive and analytical drawing types in two, three, and four dimensions. Time, atmosphere and sequence of spatial propositions are described using rendered image stills, animated clips, and a variety of cinematic editing and cutting techniques along with advanced real-time simulations in virtual reality. With continually emerging software and rapidly evolving implementations in practice, students learn to work collaboratively and intelligently between traditional and emerging platforms to generate comprehensive, holistic projects that are thorough in both design process, production and in representation.
