DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY & PERSPECTIVE IN INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE

Course Description

This course focuses on giving the student professional skill in graphical presentation of design ideas and concepts through application of knowledge on descriptive geometry methods, oblique projections, isometric and perspective drawings. The course is designed for interior design students to develop their spatial understanding and way of thinking in the process of design. The students will be able to draw Pictorial views of geometric objects in form of plan oblique, elevation oblique, isometry, one-point and two-point perspective used in presentation of student’s projects. They will have better understanding of relationships between orthographic projections, oblique ones and perspective. This course aims also to improve student’s spatial thinking and skill of sketching. Thus they can develop creative approach to design solutions and presentation of architectural projects.
