Digital Architectural Communication 1

Module code: CSE4007-B

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and its spinoffs, with their many features, have become a staple throughout the construction industry and through all phases of the process. Its technological impact has been a game-changer in the industry. The module aims to: - Introduce students to the basic principles of 2D and 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to allow them to navigate drawings and apply a range of drawing and presentational skills to an increasing level of sophistication as presented in the assignments and tasks. - Prepare students for the task of visualising and communicating their work at all stages of its development, and setting their work in relation to the final design project Design. - Develop a student's repertoire of practical, technical and computer-aided skills that can keep pace with their growing knowledge of the design process. - Allow students to develop essential skills for using CAD as a means for complementing and enhancing their work on other modules; with these skills being the foundation for students to engage in projects entirely based on digital outputs.
