ARC 436: Construction Drawings II

Credits 2

This advanced course builds upon earlier coursework by emphasizing blow-up detailing and architectural detailing to communicate complex construction requirements. Students refine their technical expertise in representing architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical components through CAD/BIM software, focusing on enlarged details of critical junctions and specialized assemblies. Course topics include advanced fabrication methods, digital workflows, building code compliance, and the production of thorough, precise construction documents. The overarching goal is to ensure that every aspect of the design intent—from broad layout to the smallest connection—is clearly delineated for fabrication and construction.
