Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Architecture

Description:

An advanced-level course in the graphic documentation of construction concepts using manual sketching and CADD techniques. Emphasis is placed on the development of working drawings for commercial buildings and site construction. Principles of materials and methods of construction are integrated into a project where the student is required to derive and document solutions to site development, structural, building envelope and finish material systems. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Make preliminary selection and sizing of structural components from standard load tables; Apply basic building code requirements to schematic design concepts; Develop details for major architectural systems and components; Analyze the overall design and details to accommodate the needs of working loads, weather, thermal shock, constructability, working tolerances and occupancy use; Complete a set of construction documents for a modest commercial structure using CADD systems.
