ARC-246 Commercial Design
ARC-246 Commercial Design is intended for Architectural Technology majors. Students will be introduced to the fundamental concepts required for the design and drafting of commercial structures. Throughout the semester students will explore topics that include various architectural drawings and presentations, building codes and ordinances, ADA requirements, and sustainability. Students will spend the semester working through an original design and developing that design to incorporate codes and building systems. The semester will culminate with an oral presentation of this developed design of a commercial structure and will be expressed through models, drawings and digital images. The material covered in this class is presented in a lecture format with laboratory studies and field trips.
