Fundamentals of Architectural Visualization

Catalog description

Drawing is a skill fundamental to the discipline of architecture. Drawing allows us to record the world around us. In doing so, we learn and observe the built environment and invigorate our observation skills, an ability essential to architects. Drawing enables us to visualize imaged environments. Drawings allow us to communicate our ideas with others, and most importantly, with ourselves. This dialogue, namely visual thinking, enables us to transform the initial blurry images of imagined environments into defined (and refined) ideas. This course will introduce drawing skills, techniques, and concepts necessary to visualize and understand architectural design ideas.
