Drafting is an essential tool by which the interior designer formalizes the design process, conveys ideas to the client and instructs the builder of design intent. This studio course provides the basic knowledge of draftsmanship including drawing techniques, scale, symbols, and the standard methods of presenting information in the graphic form. Students are required to supply their own drafting equipment from a list provided during the first class.
Class size is limited so please register early.
This course will be offered in Fall 2001 to accommodate these students unable to attend this semester. Whether accentuating or manipulating interiors and furnishings, finish materials are the textural binders of interior design. In this studio course, participants consider the historical present day styles of floor coverings, fabrics, paints, wall coverings, window treatments and cabinetry including technical information and considerations for selections. Effective presentations are important for designers to convey ideas to clients and contractors. This course will assist in developing the essentials of presentation, from planning to execution.
