Descriptive geometry is the science of method to project geometric form on to planes.
The aim of this course is to improve the comprehension of space through the understanding of basic space figures with an accurate drawing technique.
The topics of this course are Intersection of solid, Tagent plane, Shade & shadow, Axonometric projection, Oblique projection, Perspective.
This course follows to "Descriptive Geometry for Space Design1" in 1st and 2nd quarter.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) understand drawing technique and methods.
2) comprehend of space
Descriptive geometry, Graphics, Design, Projection, Architectural space
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Lecture and practice quiz are held every other week.
Drawing exercises to understand the general technique based on previous lectures.
