COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Create 3D geometry for modeling of architectural, interior design, and/or landscape design

    projects using computer software applications.

2.  Produce rendered images, screen-captured images, and animations of architectural, interior

    design, and/or  landscape design projects.

Objectives:

During this course, students will:

1. Effectively use 3D modeling programs to support 2D and 3D design development and design

    presentations.

2. Effectively use digital tools to apply texture, color, light and shadows to models.

3. Export models and views to other programs.

4. Import image or model information from other sources to use in model construction.

5. Print or plot graphic representations of 3D models in hidden line, grayscale and color.

6. Use digital modeling skills in preparing rendered and captured images of architectural, interior

    design, and/or landscape design projects.

7. Provide guided and animated tours of digitally created environments.

Topics and Scope

I. Role of 3D Models in Studying Forms and Presenting Design Concepts in Architecture,

    Interior Design, and Landscape Design

II. Principles and Concepts of 3D Modeling and Rendering

    A. 2D geometry

    B. Aspects of materials such as: value, color, and texture

    C. Aspects of form and volume such as: space, scale, balance, rhythm, and proportion

    D. Aspects of visualization such as: light, focal point, and emphasis

III. Introduction to Revit

    A. Program interface components

    B. Creating 2D geometries

    C. Modeling 3D forms

    D. Identifying and applying textures and colors

    E. Depicting light and shadow

    F. Importing and exporting information from Sketch-Up, AutoCAD, and/or Rhino 3D

     G. Preparing rendered/captured images

    H. Generating animations

     I. Digital tours of the model/environment

    J. Printing and plotting

IV. Application to Architectural, Interior Design, and Landscape Environments

V. Presenting the Results of Digital Modeling

VI. Oral Presentations and Critiques

 

All topics are covered in both the lecture and lab portions of this course.

Assignments:

Lecture Related Assignments:

1. Reading: Textbook or instructor provided handouts (20- 40 pages per week)

2. Quizzes (1-3)

3. Final exam or modeling project presentation

Lab Related Assignments:

1. Modeling exercises (6-12)

2. Guided tours of models (2-4)

3. Oral presentations and critiques (6-8)

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 40 - 60%
Modeling exercises
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 10 - 20%
Guided tours of models
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 10 - 30%
Quizzes and final exam or modeling project presentation
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 5 - 15%
Oral presentations and critiques
