Description

This module focuses on digital representation through AutoCAD. During their studies, the learner will explore how to create and produce digital drawings using architectural graphic conventions in a 2D CAD environment. The module examines a large range of CAD tools that are necessary for the creation of digital architectural representation. The student will apply best practice examples, acquiring the skills and competences necessary to execute and complete a series of digital architectural drawings.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

Produce detailed and accurate orthographic and paraline architectural drawings applying appropriate drawing conventions within a CAD programme.

Integrate the context, use and cross referencing of design information in a set of drawings.

Format and print effective layouts and presentations in CAD to communicate interior spatial design proposals in 2-D

Manage electronic drawings, files, folders, CAD blocks, employing an appropriate nomenclature.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Digital Media for Design is taught using a combination of lectures, presentations, practical based tutorials and workshops that are situated in a computer lab environment or interior architecture studio. Both individual and group work modes are utilised throughout.

Module Assessment Strategies

Formative and summative continuous assessment modes using a range of techniques which includes group and/or individual work.

Repeat Assessments

Repeat assessment will be dependent on failed components. This will be confirmed at formal exam boards.

Indicative Syllabus

Production of 2D CAD drawings:

Fundamental commands for 2D computer drawing using Autodesk AutoCAD software including the following:

Draw and modify commands, layer management, dimensioning, viewports and plotting. Drawing tools – ortho, undo, track, snap; Editing – polyline, text for style, copy, fillet, extend trim, rotate, move mirror, offset;
Graphic composition of formal architectural graphics;
Graphic presentation techniques;
Creation of a customised working interface & short cut commands;
Format, layers, blocks, hatch, text & dimensioning, scaling objects, scaling from a point;
Zoom – window, previous, extent, all pan;
Hatching – scaling, selecting from boundaries, or points;
Drawing and file management;
Setting up and plotting from layouts.
