Module Aims
Introduce research skills appropriate to Interior Design practice.
Develop the ability to read and survey both orthographic and built environments.
Develop essential skills to draw Interior Design proposals following orthographic drawing processes.
Enable students to build up a portfolio of drawings to demonstrate fundamental hand drawing formats and basic computer drawing and presentation skills.
Content Summary
This module involves an Immersive Project that introduces the fundamentals of research, analysis, concept and presentation.
The module begins with an introduction to basic drawing conventions, awareness of scale, representing a 3D space as a 2D drawing, understanding how to cut plans and sections and represent elevations, as well as 3D projections and perspective views. These processes are initially taught hand drawn before introducing basic CAD software to digitize these drawings. This includes use of CAD commands from menus to create plans, sections, elevations and text on a variety of media sizes from A4 to A1 and scales: File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Draw, Dimensions, Modify, Window. Use of model, layout tabs, and viewports: set up layouts, re-use layout settings, create layout viewports, edit in layout viewports. Print and plot drawings; set up page, plot configuration, black and white and colour printing.
