This is a design drawing and presentation course offered at the Community College of Philadelphia.
OVERVIEW
The profession of architecture requires individuals with diverse sets of skills. Good architects can combine organizational, management and financial skills with artistic and design skills. They also must have an understanding of graphic and compositional techniques. Design concepts are only as good as the quality of the drawings used to present them. Our drawings illustrate our understanding of our own design and our basic design intentions. They are also a means for us to communicate information with other people. They are a LANGUAGE that allows us to explain our ideas. Presentation drawings are a "graphic outline" of issues and information regarding architecture.
As designers of the built environment, one of our most valuable tools is our ability to portray our ideas with drawings and models. This course exposes students to presentation skills used in architectural and design professions. These skills are needed to function effectively at entry-level positions in professional practice and for those intending to transfer into other educational institutions.
