    Description
    This is an architecture drawing class that will focus on construction documents for wood construction. The course will cover how these architectural drawings are documents that instruct all the stake holders how to use, build and maintain a high performance building. The course will explain how construction documents made out of wood are connected to the life cycle of a building. It covers an integrated building approach, as it identifies the deliverables for: programing (identify the need), design drawings (identify the solutions), construction documents (drawings used to build the building), operation/maintain (as built drawings) and assessment (analysis for upgrade and improvement). This course will also cover CAD, BIM, GIS tools, LEED Credits, Sustainable Standards and their relationship to a set of construction documents for wood construction. Fundamentals of architectural drafting, symbols, dimensioning, and methods of representation are also mastered during this course. The student will prepare a set of construction documents for a simple wood building structure.
