Intermediate-level digital, three-dimensional modeling and visualization strategies for Interior Design.
Credit Hours
3
Prerequisite: Admission to Bachelor of Science in Design - Interior Design program; or permission of instructor.
Overview
This is an introductory interior design course with a primary focus on visual communication as it pertains to architectural spaces. This course is to provide students with tools in order to gain a practical and conceptual understanding of the graphic presentation of information. These principles will be examined through the lens of both the academic and professional setting. Various methods of graphic representation will be explored primarily through the Revit software. Through a series of smaller, fast-paced projects, students will develop an understanding of how to set up and create architectural documentation for interior spaces. This course works in conjunction with the design 3102 studio to establish core visualization skills for interior design
