seen as the creation of a data base of twodimensional graphics and threedimensional models from which drawings and images can be extracted. An important component of the course is therefore the structuring of this two- and threedimensional information. For architectural subject matter the course will use the works of a classical architect, such as Palladio or Schinkel, by requiring the design and modelling of a building incorporating the design rules perceived to have been used by the architect. By using CAD as a means of criticism, CAD is also used to teach architectural history by allowing visual testing of the validity of the design rules and by allowing one to project oneself into a virtual reality of the past. Prereq: ARCH 213 or consent of instructor

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.

Titled Computer Aided Design.

The emphasis of the course is on Computer Aided Design (CAD). Software running on personal computers (AUTOCAD) and on minicomputers (McDonnell Douglas, GDS) will be used. These systems will be used to develop a systematic approach to the creation of line drawings such as a floor plan of a distinctive apartment building and elevations of Baroque or Renaissance buildings. The drawing projects will be supplemented by seminars on CAD system usage and related theory. Prereq: ARCH 213

Titled Computer Aided Design Use of Computer Aided Design (CAD).

systems for the preparation of presentation and working drawings in building design. Lecture topics include the data structure of drawings and details, their storage, transmission and sharing between large and small compatible, networked CAD systems. Design theory as it pertains to CAD is also covered. Prereq: ARCH 213

Titled Computer Generated Design Il.

This course is a sequel to ARCH 213

and considers in greater depth some of

the topics covered in the earlier course. Prereq: ARCH 213.

Titled Computer Generated Design 2.

Architectural Design 2

Input from various other courses is formulated into comprehensive data structures and simulated behaviour patterns; methods of synthesis problem-solving techniques, analysis of thought processes and protocol analyses. Course is project oriented.
