CADD - Architectural Design CPU

Introduction

The CADD - Architectural Design CPU uses computer-aided design software called Envisioneer to create at least two housing structures while learning about the fundamentals and tactics of architectural drafting and design. They will also be introduced to the evolution of residential architecture and the significance of modern architecture today, will learn about several careers in the field of architecture, and address specific tactics of exterior construction and interior design. Perhaps most importantly, this CPU presents architecture as not only a functioning societal necessity, but an art form involving the nuance of creative intuition. By applying learned design techniques to their own working structures, students gain a more cohesive understanding of why and how architects--and other professionals involved with structure creation--employ the design methods they do.
