No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1987–88 to 1994–95 (before that, 1974–75 to 1986–87 used the number for Computer Generated Design 1); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
By focusing on three-dimensional modelling, the course introduces a number of related topics in computer graphics such as rendering, raster graphics, light, colour and image compositing. There are studio projects involving the design, modelling and rendering of sculptures and a project dealing with interpretations through modelling of distinctive buildings from the recent or distant past. Lectures support the hands-on work with a general theoretical background.
As printed in the 1992–93 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

1989–90 to 1991–92 3 calendars
The focus of the course is on threedimensional modelling using computers. There are two studio projects: the first involves the design and modelling of sculptures; the second deals with interpretations, through modelling, of distinctive buildings from the recent and distant past. Lectures support the hands-on work by providing a general theoretical background. Prereq: ARCH 113, CS 100, ARCH 192, 193 or consent of instructor
1987–88 to 1988–89 2 calendars
This course provides an introduction to the use of computer graphics in architectural design. The lectures cover both practical applications such as Computer Aided Design which are in use now by practising architects and computer graphics applications which are still experimental. Hands-on exercises using three-dimensional modelling software form a major component of this course. Prereq: CS 100, ARCH 192, 193 or consent of instructor
