LEARNING OUTCOMES

Architectural Drawing LOs

1  Apply draughting techniques to include architectural conventions and symbols.

2 Investigate the architectural world to include freehand sketches and other research evidence

3 Illustrate architectural detailing on both freehand and scaled drawings

4 Analyse space and form in designs

5 Construct orthographic views in standard scales to include both first angle and third angle

6 Experiment with various three dimensional (3D) architectural details to include cutaway details

7 Employ perspective views to communicate designs

8 Apply Computer Aided Draughting (CAD) technology to designs

9 Execute surveys to include both internal and external

10 Interpret a specific design brief considering planning, objectives, preparation and time management

CAD LOs

1.  Analyse key features and characteristics of computer hardware and software in relation to computer-aided draughting. Interpret key terminology, commands, and icons associated with computer-aided draughting.
2. Discuss the contribution of technology as a design tool.
3. Utilise appropriate drawing commands to create a range of two-dimensional geometrical constructions to include lines, polylines, splines, arcs and circles.
4. Utilise a range of editing commands to modify existing constructions.
5. Create, insert and edit a variety of blocks, layers and templates.
6. Employ appropriate techniques to customise a drawing in order to plot a page set-up and layouts.
7. Apply a range of labelling techniques to include hatching, text and dimensioning.
8. Modify the properties of a drawing to include application of line-type, line-weights, colours and scales.
9. Customise and restore default drawing tool settings.
10. Suggest Health and Safety initiatives aimed at reducing the risks associated with the use of digital technology.

Design Skills LO’s

1. Explain the inter-relationships between those involved in a design process – the client, the designer, the maker and the user.
2. Explain the purpose and the role of the tools, materials and technologies relevant to a design specialism.
3. Outline the health and safety issues relating to a design field Engage in a design process from briefing, through research and development, to presentation and execution.
4. Interpret a design brief in terms of with reference to a target audience, budget and deadlines. Research a design brief by collecting, selecting and collating primary and secondary source material.
5. Organise a work schedule in the context of agreed deadlines.
6. Generate a wide range of design solutions through visual and verbal brainstorming, lateral thinking and exploration of materials.
7. Develop selected ideas through problem solving in the context of the design brief Communicate design proposals by visual and verbal means with clarity Execute appropriate design solutions utilizing appropriate methods and materials within a budget and schedule.
8. Develop and execute design solutions in response to a wide range of briefs within a design field.
9. Evaluate design outcomes in the context of objective design criteria. Reflect on the success of strategies employed.
